- Notes and Loans Payable
- The proportion of notes and loans payable relative to total liabilities and equity declined markedly from 7.8% at the beginning of 2020 to a low of 0.17% by the end of 2022. Subsequently, it rose gradually to stabilize roughly around 1.05% by early 2025, indicating a reduced reliance on short-term borrowings over this period.
- Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
- This category showed an increasing trend from 10.07% in early 2020 to a peak of about 18.48% in the middle of 2022, before exhibiting a downward adjustment and some fluctuations, leveling near 14% to 16% by early 2025. This suggests a growing share of trade payables and accrued expenses within the liabilities structure, followed by some normalization.
- Income Taxes Payable
- The share of income taxes payable was relatively minor but grew steadily from around 0.3%-0.4% in 2020 to approximately 1.44% near late 2022. The ratio then oscillated modestly around 1% through to early 2025, reflecting varying tax obligations over the quarters.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and equity fluctuated moderately, rising from 18.2% at Q1 2020 to a peak near 21.78% in mid-2022, before trending downward again to approximately 15.5%-16.3% by early 2025. This indicates changing short-term obligations with a transient peak around 2022.
- Long-term Debt Excluding Due Within One Year
- This liability component increased from 8.95% at the start of 2020 to over 14% in late 2020, then showed a gradual decline, reaching approximately 7.26% by Q1 2025. The data suggest an early increase in long-term borrowings followed by a moderate deleveraging trend through the later years.
- Postretirement Benefits Reserves
- These reserves progressively decreased from around 6.16% in early 2020 to about 2.22% by early 2025. The consistent downward trajectory points to a reduced burden or revaluation of postretirement obligations over time.
- Deferred Income Tax Liabilities
- The deferred income tax liabilities ratio remained relatively stable, fluctuating mostly between 5.4% and 6.5% up to 2023, then rising to approximately 8.65% by early 2025. This uptick suggests increased deferred tax liabilities in more recent periods.
- Long-term Obligations to Equity Companies
- There was a slight but steady decline in long-term obligations to equity companies from 1.13% at the start of 2020 to around 0.31% by early 2025, indicating reduced reliance or repayments of these obligations.
- Other Long-term Obligations
- This component was relatively stable, oscillating generally within the 5.4% to 6.5% range throughout the period, without notable upward or downward trends.
- Long-term Liabilities
- Long-term liabilities peaked around 33.7% at the end of 2020 and then experienced a gradual decline to about 23.96% by early 2025, signaling an overall reduction in long-term obligations as a share of total financing.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities fluctuated between 43% and 50% throughout the period, reaching a high point near 50.9% in mid-2021 and then progressively decreasing to around 40.3% by early 2025. This suggests a modest reduction in total liabilities relative to total financing.
- Common Stock Without Par Value
- The share attributable to common stock without par value remained steady near 4.3%-4.7% from 2020 until early 2024, with a notable increase to around 10.2% by early 2025. This considerable rise may reflect stock issuance or revaluation events toward the end of the period.
- Earnings Reinvested
- The reinvested earnings component exhibited a slow decline from above 117% in early 2020 to about 100.56% by mid-2024, followed by a slight recovery to approximately 104.95% by early 2025, reflecting accumulated retained earnings fluctuations.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
- This figure improved moderately from a loss of -6.84% to around -3.55% by late 2022 and further improved slightly to around -3.17% by early 2025, indicating a reduction in accumulated comprehensive losses over time.
- Common Stock Held in Treasury
- The treasury stock balance, negative as expected, was stable near -63% to -67% from 2020 through early 2024, but then declined sharply in magnitude to around -50% by early 2025, suggesting increased treasury stock activity or repurchases.
- Total ExxonMobil Share of Equity
- The share of total equity attributable to common shareholders generally increased, starting at about 51.17% in early 2020, dipping to below 47% by early 2022, and climbing steadily afterward to nearly 58% by early 2025. This indicates enhancement in shareholders' equity over the period.
- Noncontrolling Interests
- The noncontrolling interests remained relatively stable between 1.5% and 2.2%, with a slight downward trend toward the end of the period, settling around 1.57% by early 2025.
- Total Equity
- Total equity showed an overall upward trend from just over 53% in early 2020, dropping briefly below 50% in early 2021, then rising consistently to approach 60% by early 2025. This trend suggests strengthening equity relative to total financing.
- Total Liabilities and Equity
- By definition, this represents 100% at all points in time, confirming the balance sheet identity.
