- Liquidity and Current Obligations
- Current liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and shareholders' equity fluctuated between 25.52% and 30.28% over the five-year period. The portion of accounts payable remained relatively stable, showing a slight increase from 2.73% in 2012 to 3.7% in 2014, before decreasing marginally to 3.53% in 2015. Accrued expenses showed a mild decline from 6.87% in 2011 to 6.7% in 2015, demonstrating a generally consistent obligation profile. The introduction of short-term debt at 2.79% in 2015 marked a notable change in short-term financing structure, as it was not reported in previous years.
- Cost-Related Liabilities
- Salaries and benefits as a percentage decreased steadily from 2.81% in 2011 to 2.35% in 2013, before rising again to 2.75% in 2014, and then slightly dropping to 2.55% in 2015. Product warranties saw a consistent decline over the period, from 0.74% to 0.37%, indicating a reduction in future cost exposure related to product guarantees. Partner rebates remained relatively steady around 0.47% to 0.51%, showing stable cost commitments in this category. Noteworthy was the increase in restructuring liabilities, rising from 0.18% in 2011 to 0.71% in 2015, suggesting growing restructuring activities and associated costs.
- Tax-Related and Other Obligations
- Income taxes payable exhibited some volatility, increasing from 0.45% in 2011 to a peak of 1.86% in 2014 before decreasing to 1.31% in 2015, indicating changing tax liabilities. Deferred revenue increased incrementally from 10.09% in 2011 to 13.32% in 2015, suggesting an increasing amount of advance payments or unearned income. Deferred income taxes showed a declining trend, falling from 1.76% in 2011 to 0.6% in 2014, with no data reported for 2015. The derivatives exposure was modest throughout, with a slight increase to 0.18% in 2015 from a low of 0.05% in 2013. Other liabilities remained low and fairly constant around 0.8% to 1.03%.
- Debt Structure
- Long-term debt comprised a significant portion of noncurrent liabilities, appearing at approximately 12% in the last three years, remaining stable. The notes converted and payable category showed inconsistency with missing data but decreased from 4.96% in 2011 to 3.63% in 2013. The current portion of convertible debt dropped from 4.68% in 2011 to zero reported values post-2012. Noncurrent liabilities rose markedly from around 11.14% in 2012 to 23.62% in 2015, indicating a higher proportion of long-term obligations relative to total financing.
- Equity Composition and Trends
- Total shareholders’ equity decreased from a peak of 61.79% in 2012 to 48.74% in 2015, signifying a diminishing equity base as a proportion of total financing. Retained earnings exhibited fluctuations, rising to 49.52% in 2012, then declining to 46.55% in 2015, indicating possible distributions or losses. Additional paid-in capital reported a sharp decrease from 9.7% in 2012 to 3.07% in 2013, with no data for 2014 and 2015. The accumulated other comprehensive loss increased in absolute terms, rising from -0.69% in 2011 to -1.24% in 2015, reflecting growing unrealized losses. Common stock remained minimal and stable, at approximately 0.04% to 0.06% throughout. Non-controlling interests grew slightly from 2.83% to 3.39%, suggesting increased minority stakes.
- Overall Capital Structure
- The overall capital structure shifted towards a higher reliance on liabilities over the period, with total liabilities increasing from 41.85% in 2011 to 51.26% in 2015. Correspondingly, total shareholders’ equity declined from 58.15% to 48.74%, demonstrating a gradual leveraging trend. The consistent total of liabilities and shareholders’ equity at 100% confirms balanced reporting standards. These patterns imply a strategic shift favoring debt financing or rising liabilities relative to equity.
