- Accounts payable
- The proportion of accounts payable relative to total liabilities and stockholders’ equity exhibited minor fluctuations over the periods, starting at 6.29% in early 2015. It showed a slight decline into 2016, followed by a gradual increase reaching 7.28% in mid-2018, and then marginally declining to approximately 6.54% by the end of 2019. Overall, the trend reflects moderate variability without strong directional movement.
- Accrued taxes payable
- This component showed a general upward trend across the observed timeline. From 0.35% in the first quarter of 2015, it rose steadily with some minor fluctuations, peaking at 0.83% in the third quarter of 2019, before slightly decreasing to 0.69% in the last quarter of 2019. The increasing presence of accrued taxes payable indicates a growing portion of liabilities attributable to tax obligations.
- Dividends payable
- The percentage of dividends payable remained relatively stable, maintaining values around 0.3% to 0.4% of total liabilities and stockholders’ equity throughout the evaluated periods. There was a slight increase in mid-to-late 2019 reaching 0.46%, which may represent elevated dividend commitments during that time.
- Liabilities from price risk management activities
- This item appeared intermittently from late 2015 onward, initially at negligible levels, but demonstrated a gradual rise by 2018 reaching 0.61% of total liabilities and equity. However, values remained low relative to other liabilities, indicating limited but growing exposure to price risk management obligations.
- Current portion of long-term debt
- This liability showed considerable volatility, with very low percentages near 0.02% appearing in early quarters and sudden spikes in the first and last quarters of 2017 and 2018, reaching as high as 3.93%. Post-2018, a stabilization occurred, with values generally around 2.5% to 2.8%, suggesting a somewhat increased burden of current maturities of long-term debt in recent periods.
- Current portion of operating lease liabilities
- Data for this category emerged only in 2019, consistently near 1.0% to 1.1%, signaling recognition of operating lease obligations as current liabilities in this timeframe.
- Other current liabilities
- These showed a slight gradual increase from 0.38% in early 2015 to around 0.9% in late 2017 before declining somewhat to about 0.63% by the end of 2019. The fluctuations suggest some variability in miscellaneous current liabilities over the years.
- Current liabilities (total)
- A notable trend is the fluctuation in total current liabilities. After decreasing from 8.92% in the first quarter of 2015 to a low of 5.88% in early 2016, a marked increase followed, peaking at over 13% in mid-2018. From there, current liabilities decreased somewhat but remained elevated above 12% toward the end of 2019. This pattern reflects periods of varying short-term debt or payables intensity.
- Long-term debt, excluding current portion
- The percentage of long-term debt showed an increase from approximately 18.4% in early 2015 to a peak of 27.3% by late 2016. Subsequently, a steady and consistent decline ensued, reaching around 11.2% by the end of 2019. This downward trend indicates significant debt reduction or reclassification.
- Other liabilities
- Other liabilities gradually increased from 2.76% in 2015 to a peak around 5% in the latter half of 2019, reflecting a growing component of non-specific liabilities within total obligations.
- Deferred income taxes
- The deferred income taxes item experienced some volatility but generally trended downward, falling from over 19.5% in early 2015 to approximately 12% by the end of 2017. Thereafter, there was a slight increase and stabilization in the 13% range through 2019, indicating adjustments in tax-related liabilities.
- Noncurrent liabilities
- Noncurrent liabilities rose initially from about 40.7% in early 2015 to nearly 47% in intermediate periods but then decreased steadily to about 29.6% by the end of 2019. This overall declining trend suggests reductions in longer-term obligations.
- Total liabilities
- The total liabilities ratio initially hovered in the low 50%s, peaking near 53.8% in late 2016, followed by a general decline to approximately 41.7% by the end of 2019. This indicates a gradual deleveraging or increased equity financing over the examined years.
- Common stock, $0.01 par
- The proportion of common stock remained very stable, oscillating slightly around 0.5% to 0.8% across all reporting periods, demonstrating little change in par value relative to total financing.
- Additional paid-in capital
- This component showed a substantial increase from 8.13% in early 2015 to a high of over 19% by late 2017, followed by a steady decrease to roughly 15.7% at the end of 2019. The pattern may indicate capital contributions and later possible distributions or adjustments.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- Comprehensive loss remained relatively negligible throughout the periods, varying between approximately -0.01% and -0.13%. This minimal change suggests limited impact on equity from other comprehensive income items.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings displayed significant volatility, decreasing sharply from over 41.8% in early 2015 to a low near 28.5% in late 2016, then steadily increasing to above 42% by the end of 2019. The recovery trend in later years points to improved profitability or earnings retention.
- Common stock held in treasury
- The treasury stock component remained consistently negative but small in magnitude, fluctuating between -0.07% and -0.16%, indicating ongoing repurchases or stock retirements with modest net effect on total equity proportions.
- Stockholders’ equity
- Stockholders’ equity proportionate to total financing decreased from approximately 50.36% in early 2015 to a low near 46% in 2016, then recovered significantly, reaching nearly 58.3% by the end of 2019. This upward trend aligns with the observed decrease in liabilities, reflecting stronger equity financing.
