Accounts Payable
Accounts payable exhibited fluctuations over the periods, initially declining from approximately 2.92 billion to 2.08 billion US dollars in mid-2020, followed by a steady increase, reaching about 7.35 billion by mid-2025. This upward trend suggests rising obligations to suppliers and creditors over the long term, indicating growing operational scale or delayed payments.
Short-term Debt
Short-term debt showed volatility with a sharp increase in early 2021 peaking around 1.3 billion US dollars, a subsequent decline by late 2022, and then a moderate rise approaching 1.02 billion near mid-2025. This pattern indicates fluctuations in short-term financing needs, possibly influenced by working capital management or refinancing strategies.
Accrued Income and Other Taxes
There was an overall increasing trend in accrued income and other taxes until early 2023, peaking around 3.2 billion US dollars, followed by fluctuations with declines and partial recoveries. This suggests variable tax obligations potentially affected by profitability variations and tax planning outcomes.
Employee Benefit Obligations
Employee benefit obligations displayed two distinct sets of figures, potentially reflecting different classifications. The current obligations increased markedly towards 1.09 billion by late 2024, while noncurrent obligations steadily decreased from 1.56 billion in early 2020 to below 1 billion by mid-2025, indicating a shift in the maturity of benefit liabilities.
Other Accruals
Other accruals peaked sharply in late 2021 at 3.25 billion US dollars before tapering off towards early 2025. This fluctuation suggests significant changes in accrued expenses or liabilities which may relate to operational costs or contingencies.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities increased significantly from about 6.1 billion US dollars in early 2020 to a high near 13.3 billion by mid-2025, reflecting increased short-term obligations. The growth mirrors trends in accounts payable and accrued expenses, pointing to heightened near-term financial commitments.
Long-term Debt
Long-term debt remained relatively stable between 14.8 and 18.7 billion US dollars until late 2022, after which it increased substantially to over 23 billion by mid-2025. This rise signals increased reliance on long-term financing, possibly to fund capital expenditures or restructure debt.
Asset Retirement Obligations and Accrued Environmental Costs
These obligations exhibited a gradual increase from approximately 5.3 billion to over 8.2 billion US dollars, indicating growing recognition of future asset retirement and environmental liabilities, consistent with regulatory requirements or operational expansions.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes increased steadily over the period from around 4.1 billion to over 12.1 billion US dollars by mid-2025, reflecting timing differences in tax recognition and suggesting growing deferred tax liabilities potentially associated with asset base growth or tax strategies.
Other Liabilities and Deferred Credits
This category remained relatively stable with moderate increases, ranging approximately between 1.4 billion and 2.0 billion US dollars, implying manageable levels of other deferred liabilities.
Noncurrent Liabilities
Noncurrent liabilities increased substantially from about 27.5 billion to over 46 billion US dollars, aligning with rising long-term debt and other long-term obligations, indicating expanding long-term financial commitments.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities showed a pronounced upward trend, nearly doubling from about 33.6 billion to nearly 59 billion US dollars and reaching beyond 57 billion near mid-2025. The increasing leverage implies heightened financial risk and investment activity.
Common Stock and Capital in Excess of Par
Common stock par value remained mostly stable with a slight increase, while capital in excess of par showed a significant enhancement from approximately 47 billion to over 77 billion US dollars, indicating equity capital infusions or retained earnings adjustments.
Treasury Stock
Treasury stock costs increased in magnitude from roughly -47 billion to nearly -75 billion US dollars, reflecting ongoing stock repurchase activities which reduce outstanding shares and return value to shareholders.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
This loss remained relatively consistent, fluctuating between -5.2 billion and -6.4 billion US dollars, suggesting ongoing valuation changes in items such as foreign currency translation or pension adjustments that are recognized outside retained earnings.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings exhibited a strong upward trajectory, more than doubling from approximately 37.5 billion to over 68 billion US dollars, indicating accumulation of net income over time after dividends, reflecting robust profitability and internal capital generation.
Common Stockholders’ Equity and Total Equity
Equity increased significantly, climbing from about 31.3 billion to nearly 65.5 billion US dollars mid-2025, evidencing sustained capital growth largely driven by retained earnings despite treasury stock increases. Total equity followed a consistent pattern aligning with common equity.
Total Liabilities and Equity
The combined total of liabilities and equity grew notably from approximately 65 billion to 122 billion US dollars, doubling over the observed periods. This substantial growth highlights expansion in the company’s asset base supported by both debt and equity financing.
