Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2026-05-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-05-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-05-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-05-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-05-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-05-31).

The capital structure exhibits a gradual shift toward a higher proportion of equity financing, with total liabilities decreasing from 70.80% in 2021 to 68.01% by 2026. This transition is characterized by a reduction in long-term obligations and a concurrent increase in the common stockholders' investment, which rose from 29.20% to 31.99% over the analyzed period.

Liability Composition and Liquidity Trends
Current liabilities have trended upward, moving from 16.50% in 2021 to 19.12% in 2026. This increase is primarily driven by a notable rise in the current portion of long-term debt, which escalated from 0.08% in 2024 to 1.69% in 2026, and the emergence of short-term borrowings at 0.75% in 2026. Accrued expenses have remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 5.45% and 6.03%, while accounts payable showed a slight overall decline from 4.64% to 4.37%.
Long-Term Obligation Dynamics
Long-term liabilities have experienced a consistent decline, falling from 54.30% in 2021 to 48.90% in 2026. A significant driver of this reduction is the decrease in pension, postretirement healthcare, and other benefit obligations, which dropped sharply from 4.23% to 1.64%. Additionally, operating lease liabilities, less current portion, declined from a peak of 17.63% in 2023 to 14.71% in 2026. Long-term debt has remained relatively stable as a percentage of the total structure, generally oscillating between 21% and 25%.
Equity and Shareholder Investment Patterns
The common stockholders' investment increased steadily, supported by a strong growth trend in retained earnings, which rose from 36.02% in 2021 to a peak of 47.25% in 2025 before settling at 44.94% in 2026. This growth in retained earnings has been partially offset by aggressive treasury stock acquisitions; treasury stock as a percentage of total liabilities and equity expanded from -10.18% in 2021 to -16.51% in 2026, indicating substantial share buyback activity over the period.
Other Notable Balance Sheet Shifts
Self-insurance accruals have shown an upward trend in both current and long-term categories, with long-term accruals increasing from 2.94% in 2021 to 4.46% in 2026. Deferred income taxes remained stable for much of the period before declining from 5.15% in 2024 to 3.70% in 2026.
