The capital structure exhibits a high degree of leverage, with total liabilities consistently comprising between 79% and 86% of total liabilities and equity throughout the analyzed period. While there was a period of moderate deleveraging between late 2021 and early 2023, the long-term trend shows a return to higher liability levels, reaching 86.04% by September 2026.

Current Liability Composition and Structural Shifts
Current liabilities show a general upward trajectory, rising from 23.53% in March 2021 to 33.33% by September 2026. A significant reporting shift occurred around June 2024; the "Progress collections and current deferred income (legacy)" account, which peaked at 12.64% in March 2024, was replaced by separate "Progress collections" and "Contract liabilities and deferred income" accounts. Combined, these new categories represent a growing portion of the balance sheet, reaching approximately 14.58% by the end of the period, indicating an increase in deferred revenue from customer advances.
Non-Current Liability Trends
Non-current liabilities fluctuated from a high of 62.13% in March 2021 to a low of 49.66% in December 2022, before stabilizing in the 52% to 58% range. A notable reduction in long-term borrowings is observed, falling from 27.28% in March 2021 to approximately 13.36% by September 2026, suggesting a strategic reduction in long-term debt. Conversely, insurance liabilities and annuity benefits grew substantially, increasing from 16.14% in March 2021 to a peak of 30.90% in June 2024, becoming a primary driver of the non-current liability profile.
Equity Dynamics and Treasury Activity
Total equity has remained relatively low, trending from 14.34% in March 2021 to 13.96% in September 2026. This stability masks significant internal volatility. Retained earnings grew aggressively from 36.41% to 72.92% over the period, signaling strong cumulative profitability. However, this growth was almost entirely offset by an increase in common stock held in treasury, which expanded from -33.26% to -73.19%. This pattern indicates a corporate strategy focused on aggressive share repurchases, which has neutralized the impact of retained earnings on the overall equity ratio.
Overall Solvency and Risk Profile
The reliance on liabilities remains high, but the nature of those liabilities has shifted from financial debt toward operational contract liabilities and employee-related benefit obligations. The consistent narrowing of the equity base relative to total assets, driven by treasury stock acquisitions, suggests a preference for returning capital to shareholders over increasing the equity cushion.
