The balance sheet exhibits a significant strengthening of the equity position and a gradual increase in total liabilities over the analyzed period. Total liabilities and equity grew from 43,643 million US dollars in March 2021 to 58,840 million US dollars by March 2026, reflecting a steady expansion of the corporate capital base.

Liability Profile and Debt Trends
Total liabilities experienced a moderate upward trajectory, rising from 24,070 million US dollars in March 2021 to 27,329 million US dollars in March 2026. Current liabilities fluctuated between 4,611 million and 6,345 million US dollars, with peaks often coinciding with increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Long-term debt remained relatively stable, oscillating between approximately 8.2 billion and 10 billion US dollars, suggesting a disciplined approach to long-term borrowing. However, a notable increase is observed in environmental and asset retirement obligations, which rose from a combined total of approximately 4.05 billion US dollars in March 2021 to over 5.9 billion US dollars by March 2026, indicating rising long-term remediation liabilities.
Equity Evolution and Retained Earnings
The most prominent shift occurs within stockholders' equity, which grew from 10,920 million US dollars in March 2021 to 19,505 million US dollars by March 2026. This growth is primarily driven by a dramatic reversal in retained earnings. The company moved from a substantial accumulated deficit of 10,963 million US dollars in March 2021 to a positive retained earnings balance of 2,050 million US dollars by March 2026, signaling a period of sustained profitability.
Total equity, including noncontrolling interests, climbed from 19,573 million US dollars to 31,511 million US dollars. This expansion was supported by a gradual increase in noncontrolling interests, which rose from 8,653 million to 12,006 million US dollars over the period.
Capital Management and Shareholder Returns
A consistent increase in common stock held in treasury is observed, growing from 3,777 million US dollars in March 2021 to 6,117 million US dollars in March 2026. This suggests a systematic program of share repurchases executed alongside the accumulation of retained earnings.
The capital in excess of par value showed a slight downward trend, decreasing from 26,080 million US dollars to 23,713 million US dollars, which is consistent with the impact of treasury stock acquisitions.
