Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Liabilities represents obligations of a company arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the entity.

The financial data over multiple quarterly periods reveals a number of notable trends in liabilities and equity structure. Current liabilities fluctuated significantly, starting from 8,466 million USD and peaking at 9,367 million USD before declining to lower levels around 6,645–6,798 million USD in the most recent quarters. This pattern suggests some volatility in short-term obligations, with a general tendency toward reduction in the latest periods.
Within current liabilities, the "Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt" shows substantial variability, initially very high at 3,234 million USD then dropping sharply to below 30 million USD in several quarters, followed by a spike again above 1,500 million USD in recent periods before settling around 500–700 million USD. Trade accounts payable exhibits moderate fluctuations but remains relatively stable, slightly decreasing from around 1,748 million USD to approximately 1,722 million USD over the full timeline.
Accrued expenses and other liabilities display an overall stable yet slightly downward trend in the latest quarters, moving from a high of about 5,502 million USD to levels near 4,422–4,565 million USD. This decline could indicate improved expense management or settlement of accrued obligations.
Long-term debt, excluding current portion, demonstrates a general downward trajectory from over 22,700 million USD to a low near 15,500 million USD, although there are some fluctuations upwards near the latest quarters, reaching approximately 16,800 million USD. This suggests ongoing repayment efforts or restructuring of long-term borrowing with some recent increase possibly reflecting new financing.
Other long-term liabilities and total long-term liabilities decreased notably through the periods, from near 7,000 million USD and almost 29,400 million USD respectively, to around 5,600 million USD and 21,600 million USD near the end, indicating a reduction in non-debt long-term obligations or reclassification.
Total liabilities follow a downward trend in the latter part of the timeline, declining from a peak near 38,000 million USD to approximately 28,000–29,000 million USD, reflecting overall reduced financial obligations.
On the equity side, preferred stock values remain mostly steady at 3,268 million USD initially but abruptly reduce to about 1,668 million USD in the second half of the timeline, indicating possible redemption or conversion of preferred shares. Common stock remains stable throughout at 9 million USD, reflecting no significant issuance or buyback of common shares.
Additional paid-in capital increases progressively to a peak near 14,215 million USD before a considerable decline to around 9,300 million USD occurs in later periods, followed by a sharp recovery to over 16,700 million USD. This could be related to changes in equity transactions, equity financing, or adjustments due to treasury stock activity.
Treasury stock positions emerge only in the final quarters, showing large negative values (-8,163 to -9,305 million USD) indicating significant share repurchases or retirements, which impacted equity composition notably.
Retained earnings steadily rise over the entire timeline, from approximately 24,600 million USD to over 45,200 million USD, reflecting sustained profitability and accumulation of earnings over time despite some fluctuations in recent periods.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss shows significant volatility, ranging from a loss of about -2,791 million USD to nearly -370 million USD, then worsening back to larger negative figures near -3,959 million USD at midpoints, with fluctuations continuing into the latest quarters. This suggests variable impacts from foreign currency translation adjustments, pension liabilities, or other comprehensive items.
Total stockholders’ equity increases from about 31,000 million USD to a peak above 53,000 million USD before a decline near 49,500 million USD, and then partial recovery above 52,300 million USD. The equity structure experiences fluctuations influenced by changes in retained earnings, treasury stock, and paid-in capital.
The combination of declining total liabilities in recent quarters alongside continued growth in retained earnings and other equity components indicates a strengthening balance sheet position. However, the appearance of significant treasury stock positions and volatility in comprehensive loss highlight areas requiring further operational or market context to fully understand underlying causes.
