Current liabilities
Current liabilities increased substantially from approximately $3.0 billion in early 2019 to $6.7 billion by early 2024, reflecting a more than twofold rise. This growth is particularly notable in the current portion of operating lease liabilities, which showed a consistent upward trajectory from approximately $964.8 million in 2020 to nearly $1.39 billion in 2024. Conversely, the current portion of long-term obligations appears irregular, with a significant jump to $768.6 million in 2024 after several years of missing data.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses
Accounts payable grew steadily from about $2.39 billion in 2019 to $3.59 billion by 2024, indicating expanded purchasing activity or timing differences in payments. Accrued expenses and other liabilities followed a similar upward trend, rising from $618 million in 2019 to just under $972 million in 2024, although the peak was observed in 2022.
Compensation and benefits
Compensation and benefits expenses more than doubled from $121 million in 2019 to peak at $269 million in 2021, before declining significantly to $146 million by 2024. This volatility could indicate operational changes or reclassifications in expense reporting.
Self-insurance reserves
Both current and noncurrent self-insurance reserves showed a steady increase over the period. Combined reserves increased from approximately $237 million in 2019 to over $308 million by 2024, reflecting a cautious stance towards insurance liabilities and risk management.
Taxes
Taxes other than income taxes rose sharply from $184 million in 2019 to a peak of $324 million in 2022, then declined to $276 million in 2024. Meanwhile, income taxes payable fluctuated modestly around $8 million to $16 million, suggesting relatively stable current income tax obligations year to year.
Long-term obligations
Long-term obligations, excluding current portions, increased significantly from $2.86 billion in 2019 to a peak of about $7 billion in 2023 before receding to $6.23 billion in 2024. Long-term operating lease liabilities also increased steadily from around $7.82 billion in 2020 to $9.7 billion in 2024, indicating a growing lease commitment over time.
Deferred taxes and other noncurrent liabilities
Deferred income taxes demonstrated a consistent upward trend from $610 million in 2019 to over $1.13 billion by 2024. Other noncurrent liabilities fluctuated but generally increased, despite some volatility, ending at $252 million in 2024 compared to $298 million in 2019.
Total liabilities
Total liabilities surged from $6.79 billion in 2019 to $24.05 billion in early 2024, more than tripling during this timeframe. This growth reflects increases across both current and noncurrent liabilities, driven largely by rising lease liabilities and long-term debt.
Shareholders’ equity
Equity showed moderate volatility over the period. It increased from $6.42 billion in 2019 to peak at $6.70 billion in 2020, then declined to $5.54 billion in 2023 before recovering to $6.75 billion in 2024. The fluctuations appear linked chiefly to changes in retained earnings, which dropped sharply from $3.16 billion in 2020 to $1.66 billion in 2023, before rebounding to nearly $2.80 billion in 2024.
Capital stock and paid-in capital
Common stock par value steadily declined from $227 million in 2019 to about $192 million in 2023, showing a slight rise in 2024. Meanwhile, additional paid-in capital demonstrated a consistent increase from $3.25 billion in 2019 to $3.76 billion in 2024, indicating ongoing capital contributions or equity transactions.
Overall financial structure
The company exhibits a considerable rise in liabilities, particularly lease-related and long-term debt obligations, which has driven total liabilities to roughly 78% of the combined liabilities and equity base by 2024. Despite the growth in liabilities, shareholders' equity remains relatively stable, with resilience shown in the latest period after earlier declines. The increasing deferred tax liabilities and self-insurance reserves indicate careful tax planning and risk provisioning approaches.
