The financial position of the organization is characterized by a period of relative stability followed by a significant expansion of the balance sheet starting in early 2026. Total liabilities and equity grew from 34,080 million USD in March 2021 to 56,180 million USD by June 2026, reflecting a substantial increase in total capital. This growth is primarily driven by a sharp escalation in long-term debt and deferred income taxes during the first half of 2026.

Current Liabilities and Short-Term Obligations
Current liabilities exhibit a steady upward trajectory, rising from 6,581 million USD in March 2021 to 11,909 million USD by June 2026. A key driver of this increase is accounts payable, which grew consistently from 2,172 million USD to 5,421 million USD over the period. Short-term debt demonstrates high volatility, with significant fluctuations including a peak of 3,373 million USD in June 2021 and another spike reaching 2,510 million USD in March 2026, suggesting the tactical use of short-term financing to manage liquidity.
Noncurrent Liabilities and Long-Term Debt
Noncurrent liabilities remained relatively stable between 9,762 million USD and 12,462 million USD for the majority of the analyzed period. However, a significant shift occurred in March 2026, where noncurrent liabilities surged to 23,579 million USD. This increase is almost entirely attributable to long-term debt, excluding the current portion, which jumped from 8,758 million USD in December 2025 to 18,535 million USD in March 2026. Additionally, deferred income taxes saw a dramatic increase in 2026, rising from 265 million USD in December 2025 to 2,139 million USD by June 2026.
Stockholders' Equity and Retained Earnings
Total equity showed a consistent long-term growth trend, increasing from 15,037 million USD in March 2021 to 20,299 million USD in June 2026. This expansion was largely fueled by the growth in retained earnings, which rose from 6,883 million USD to 11,530 million USD, indicating sustained profitability. Accumulated other comprehensive loss remained a persistent negative factor, fluctuating between approximately -3,500 million USD and -4,400 million USD throughout the duration of the report.
Overall Solvency and Capital Structure
The capital structure shifted markedly in 2026. Prior to this period, the balance between total liabilities and total equity was relatively balanced. The sudden doubling of long-term debt in early 2026 significantly increased the organization's leverage. While equity continued to grow, the pace of liability accumulation in the final quarters exceeded the growth of equity, altering the overall solvency profile of the entity.
