A consistent shift in the capital structure is observed between 2021 and 2025, characterized by a steady reduction in total liabilities and a corresponding increase in total equity. Total liabilities decreased from 48.16% of total liabilities and equity in 2021 to 40.62% by 2025. Conversely, total equity rose from 51.84% to 59.38% over the same period, indicating a strengthening of the solvency position and a reduction in financial leverage.

Liability Composition and Trends
A significant contraction is noted in long-term liabilities, which fell from 31.45% in 2021 to 24.51% in 2025. This decline is primarily driven by a substantial reduction in long-term debt, which dropped from 12.81% to 7.63%, and a decrease in postretirement benefits reserves from 5.44% to 1.97%. However, deferred income tax liabilities exhibited a contrary trend, increasing steadily from 5.95% to 8.96%.
Current liabilities remained relatively stable, fluctuating between a high of 18.71% in 2022 and a low of 15.50% in 2024. Trade payables stayed consistent, ranging between 7.86% and 8.99%, suggesting a stable relationship with short-term suppliers.
Equity Structure and Shareholders' Position
The total share of equity attributable to the company increased from 49.74% in 2021 to 57.77% in 2025. A notable shift occurred in the composition of equity starting in 2024, where common stock without par value increased from 4.73% to 10.20%, suggesting a capital issuance or restructuring event.
Earnings reinvested remained the largest component of the balance sheet, though the percentage declined from a peak of 120.62% in 2023 to 107.46% in 2025. This was accompanied by a reduction in the magnitude of common stock held in treasury, which moved from -66.52% in 2021 to -57.55% in 2025, indicating a change in the volume of share buybacks relative to the total balance sheet size.

Overall, the financial trajectory reflects a strategic deleveraging process. The reduction in long-term debt and the increase in the equity base suggest a lowered risk profile and an increased reliance on internal funding and equity rather than borrowed capital.
