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.

- Accounts Payable
- The accounts payable balance displays fluctuations throughout the periods, starting at 20,387 thousand US$ at the end of 2018 and peaking at 32,474 thousand US$ toward the end of 2019. This is followed by a decline and subsequent stabilization around 16,000–23,000 thousand US$ in later periods. There is no clear upward or downward trend, but rather cyclical variations likely influenced by operational activities.
- Accrued Compensation and Employee Benefits
- This item demonstrates significant volatility with sharp increases and decreases across quarters. Notably, it peaks around September 2019 and September 2020 with values exceeding 110,000 thousand US$, followed by drops to approximately 60,000 thousand US$. This fluctuating pattern may reflect seasonal payroll variations or adjustments in employee-related accruals.
- Other Accrued Liabilities
- There is considerable variation in other accrued liabilities, moving between approximately 25,000 thousand US$ and 83,000 thousand US$. The balance experiences peaks in mid-2021 and a subsequent decline in 2022, suggesting changes in accrued operating expenses or timing differences in recognition.
- Deferred Revenue
- Deferred revenue remains relatively stable with a slight upward trajectory from just over 100,000 to about 170,000 thousand US$ by early 2025. The steady increase indicates growing unearned income, possibly reflecting expanded customer contracts or subscription-based service models.
- Current Maturities on Debt
- This liability shows major fluctuations, peaking at 250,000 thousand US$ in mid to late 2021 and dropping sharply to 15,000 thousand US$ in early 2024 onward. This pattern reveals significant debt refinancing or restructuring, reducing near-term debt obligations markedly in later periods.
- Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale
- Data is largely missing except for a figure of 23,989 thousand US$ appearing in the first quarter of 2021, indicating an isolated occurrence potentially tied to a specific asset disposal event.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities exhibit variability with a high around 559,000 thousand US$ in late 2021, followed by a considerable reduction to approximately 315,000 thousand US$ in early 2024, before rebounding slightly. This aligns with shifts observed in current maturities on debt and accrued liabilities, likely reflecting strategic balance sheet management.
- Long-Term Debt, Excluding Current Maturities
- Long-term debt rises steadily from around 604,000 thousand US$ at the end of 2018 to over 2.5 million thousand US$ by early 2025, illustrating substantial debt issuance or accumulation over this period. This long-term borrowing growth suggests increased leverage possibly to finance investments or acquisitions.
- Non-Current Operating Lease Liabilities
- Though data is absent for the first several periods, lease liabilities peak around 80,424 thousand US$ in late 2019 and thereafter consistently decline to roughly 20,000 thousand US$ by late 2024, indicating lease terminations or asset disposals reducing long-term lease obligations.
- Other Liabilities
- Other liabilities gradually increase overall from approximately 40,000 to over 86,000 thousand US$, with some fluctuations. This trend could point to incremental increases in miscellaneous long-term obligations over time.
- Non-Current Liabilities
- The non-current liabilities total rises substantially from roughly 644,000 thousand US$ to exceed 2.6 million thousand US$ over the analysis period, reflecting the cumulative effect of rising long-term debt and other long-term obligations, underscoring increased long-term financial commitments.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities grow materially from approximately 1.08 million to almost 3.0 million thousand US$. The increase is primarily driven by the growth in long-term debt and non-current liabilities, despite fluctuations in current liabilities and other short-term obligations.
- Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital
- Common stock remains relatively stable near 244–292 thousand US$, indicating negligible changes in share count or par value. Additional paid-in capital fluctuates between approximately 1.14 million and 1.37 million thousand US$, showing moderate variations possibly due to equity transactions or stock-based compensation.
- Treasury Stock
- Treasury stock holdings increase in absolute value from -2.67 million to nearly -6.49 million thousand US$, representing significant stock repurchases or reductions in outstanding shares over the period, reflecting a strategic capital return or share count management policy.
- Retained Earnings
- Retained earnings display a strong upward trend, doubling from about 1.8 million to over 4.2 million thousand US$. This consistent growth indicates sustained profitability and accumulation of undistributed earnings.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
- This balance remains negative and fluctuates moderately between approximately -76,000 and -124,000 thousand US$. The persistence of a negative value suggests ongoing unrealized losses or other comprehensive expenses affecting equity.
- Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
- Equity shows a downward pattern transitioning from a positive 227,895 thousand US$ to a negative deficit exceeding -1.1 million thousand US$, indicating that liabilities surpass assets in later periods. This erosion of equity is consistent with the large buildup in treasury stock and growing liabilities, which outweigh retained earnings increases.
- Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
- The total of liabilities and equity increases from around 1.31 million to approximately 1.84 million thousand US$. The slower growth compared to liabilities alone confirms the rising deficit in stockholders’ equity over time, reflecting leverage expansion and capital structure shifts.
