The capital structure demonstrates a consistent shift from debt-reliance toward equity-financing over the analyzed period. Total liabilities decreased from 46.40% of total liabilities and stockholders’ equity in April 2021 to 36.61% by March 2026, reflecting a strategic deleveraging of the balance sheet.

Liability Composition and Debt Management
A sustained reduction in long-term debt is observed, declining from a peak of 28.60% in October 2021 to 21.02% in March 2026. This trend is the primary driver behind the overall decrease in total liabilities. Other long-term liabilities also experienced a gradual decline, moving from 10.48% to 6.66% over the same period. Current liabilities remained relatively stable, generally fluctuating between 8% and 10%, indicating a consistent approach to managing short-term operational obligations.
Equity Growth and Retained Earnings
Total stockholders’ equity increased from 53.60% in April 2021 to 63.39% by March 2026. This expansion is predominantly attributed to the growth of retained earnings, which rose from 38.01% to 57.02%. The steady accumulation of retained earnings suggests strong internal profit generation and a preference for reinvesting earnings into the company's equity base.
Shareholder Capital and Treasury Activity
Additional paid-in capital showed volatility, rising from 12.98% in early 2021 to a peak of 21.57% in December 2024, before settling at 20.71% in March 2026. A significant change occurred in late 2024 with the introduction of treasury stock as a contra-equity account, reaching -13.65% by March 2026. This indicates a substantial commitment to share repurchases during the latter part of the period.
Other Comprehensive Loss and Preferred Stock
Preferred stock as a percentage of the total balance sheet declined sharply from 4.33% in April 2021 to 1.96% by March 2023, after which it is no longer reported. Accumulated other comprehensive loss remained negative throughout the period, fluctuating between a high of -0.25% and a low of -4.76%, reflecting periodic unrealized losses in other comprehensive income.
