Notes and loans payable: The values show significant fluctuations, with low amounts during 2018 followed by a sharp increase in September 2019. Subsequently, the amounts largely stabilize but stay relatively low through mid-2023, indicating variability in short-term borrowing.
Current portion of long-term debt: Recorded values begin in 2019 with a progressive increase over time, indicating a rising amount of long-term debt becoming due within one year.
Accounts payable: Accounts payable demonstrate a generally upward trend over the period with intermittent fluctuations. Notably, there is a peak in late 2021 and mid-2023, reflecting increased short-term obligations to suppliers or creditors.
Accrued income taxes: Accrued income taxes fluctuate moderately, with spikes in 2020 and declines thereafter, suggesting variability in tax expenses or payments across quarters.
Other accruals: This item exhibits considerable volatility with peaks and troughs throughout the period. The highest values occur in 2021 and 2023, indicating changing obligations accrued but not yet paid.
Current liabilities: Current liabilities largely increase over time, peaking in early 2023 before a slight decline. This trend aligns with increased short-term obligations, possibly due to operational or financing activities.
Long-term debt, excluding current portion: Long-term debt steadily increases over the period, with a notable rise from 2019 onward, indicating increased long-term borrowing or deferred obligations.
Deferred income taxes: Deferred income taxes fluctuate without a clear directional trend but generally maintain stable levels with occasional spikes, suggesting variability in timing differences related to asset or liability recognition for tax purposes.
Other liabilities: This category declines notably from 2021 onwards, decreasing from approximately 2600 million to below 2000 million by early 2023, indicative of reductions in miscellaneous long-term obligations.
Non-current liabilities: Non-current liabilities show an increasing trend through most of the period, with peaks aligned with increasing long-term debt and other liabilities, slightly declining toward 2023.
Total liabilities: Total liabilities follow a generally increasing trend with peaks in 2021 and 2023. The increase largely reflects growth in both current and long-term liabilities, evidencing expanded leverage or obligations.
Common stock, $1 par value: Common stock remains constant throughout the period, reflecting no issuance or retirement of stock shares.
Additional paid-in capital: There is a consistent upward trend in additional paid-in capital, indicating ongoing capital contributions above par value or stock issuance premiums.
Retained earnings: Retained earnings gradually increase over time, with minor declines observed in early 2022 and 2023, suggesting periodic distribution of earnings or net losses.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss: This balance remains negative throughout and generally trends toward a smaller absolute loss since 2020, indicating some recovery or revaluation gains in comprehensive income components.
Unearned compensation: Values are minimal and sporadic, showing small fluctuations without a clear trend.
Treasury stock, at cost: Treasury stock steadily increases in negative value, indicating continued repurchase of shares over the period, thus reducing shareholders' equity.
Total shareholders’ equity: Total shareholders’ equity fluctuates between positive and negative figures during the period with no sustained improvement, reflecting volatility possibly associated with treasury stock purchases and comprehensive losses.
Noncontrolling interests: Noncontrolling interests generally maintain stable levels with minor fluctuations, suggesting consistent minority ownership stakes in consolidated subsidiaries.
Total equity: Total equity fluctuates over time, with periods of growth from 2020 through 2021, followed by declines approaching 2023. The variability indicates changing equity value influenced by retained earnings, treasury stock transactions, and comprehensive income items.
Total liabilities and equity: The aggregate figure remains relatively stable, with minor fluctuations around 15,000 to 16,000 million US dollars, indicating a stable size of the company’s consolidated balance sheet over the time frame.
