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 overall financial structure shows a transition from a high-equity, lower-liability base in early 2018 toward a more volatile liability profile by late 2022. Total liabilities and equity peaked in early 2018 at approximately 27.6 billion USD before contracting and later stabilizing around 22.5 billion USD by September 2022.
- Current Liabilities and Short-Term Obligations
- Current liabilities exhibited significant volatility, growing from 1.1 billion USD in March 2018 to a peak of 7.6 billion USD in March 2022. This trend was primarily driven by a substantial increase in derivative instruments at fair value, which surged from 59 million USD in March 2018 to a peak of 5.7 billion USD in September 2021. Accounts payable also showed a steady upward trajectory, increasing from approximately 699 million USD in early 2018 to over 1.6 billion USD by September 2022, suggesting an expansion in operational scale or changes in vendor payment terms.
- Non-Current Liabilities and Long-Term Debt
- Non-current liabilities generally trended downward, moving from 9.6 billion USD in March 2018 to 6.2 billion USD in September 2022. Senior notes, a primary component of long-term debt, fluctuated significantly, dropping from 7.3 billion USD in mid-2018 to approximately 4.2 billion USD by late 2022. Deferred income taxes showed high variability, reaching a low of 347 million USD in September 2021 before recovering to 893 million USD by the end of the observed period.
- Equity and Retained Earnings
- Total equity experienced a notable decline, falling from 16.8 billion USD in March 2018 to 9.6 billion USD in September 2022. A critical shift occurred in retained earnings, which moved from a positive balance of 2.4 billion USD in early 2018 to a peak of 3.4 billion USD in June 2019, before collapsing into an accumulated deficit. The deficit reached its most severe point in September 2021 at negative 1.9 billion USD, though a strong recovery trend was observed through 2022, narrowing the deficit to approximately 299 million USD by September 2022.
- Shareholder Capital and Treasury Stock
- Common stock values remained relatively stable after an initial decrease from 9.3 billion USD to around 9.9 billion USD by late 2022. Treasury stock showed a consistent reduction in cost, moving from negative 51 million USD in March 2018 to negative 579 thousand USD by September 2022, indicating a reduction in the value of shares held in treasury.
The balance sheet indicates a period of financial strain centered around 2021, characterized by a spike in derivative liabilities and a deep accumulated deficit. However, the data from 2022 reflects a stabilization phase, with a marked recovery in retained earnings and a reduction in total current liabilities.
