- Short-term borrowings
- There is a steady decline from 7.16% in March 2020 to a low around 0.63% by March 2024, followed by a modest increase toward 1.68% by June 2025, indicating a reduction in reliance on short-term debt over the period with a slight rebound near the end.
- Accounts payable
- Accounts payable increased from 5.81% in March 2020, peaking near 10.08% in September 2023, before declining to 7.58% in June 2025. This suggests growing short-term obligations up to late 2023, with some improvement afterward.
- Progress collections and Contract liabilities and deferred income
- Data for progress collections begins only in March 2024 and shows stable values around 5.25% to 5.61%. Contract liabilities and deferred income data also starts in March 2024, with a slight upward trend from 7.04% to 7.77%. These indicate emerging or better detailed recognition of advance payments and deferred revenue in recent periods.
- Progress collections and current deferred income (legacy)
- Dropping gradually from 7.56% in March 2020 to 7.13% in September 2021, followed by a consistent increase to 12.64% by March 2024, illustrating shifting composition or reclassification of deferred income over time.
- Sales discounts and allowances
- Data available only from March 2024 shows minor fluctuations between 2.82% and 3.21%, indicating relatively stable discounting and allowances in recent quarters.
- All other current liabilities
- These liabilities increased steadily from 6.22% in March 2020, peaking around 8.34% in September 2022, then showing a pronounced decline from 7.53% in March 2024 down to about 3.39% in December 2024 before a mild rise. This pattern suggests a reduction in miscellaneous current liabilities mid-period followed by stabilization.
- Liabilities of businesses held for sale
- Intermittent data shows low values mostly under 2%, with a slight increase to near 1.2% in mid-2023 and a low of 0.05% in June 2024, reflecting varying levels of sale-related liabilities with no sustained trend.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities as a percent of total steadily rose from 26.83% in March 2020 to a peak around 31.2% in December 2021, then showed some volatility but maintained a range near 28-31% to June 2025, reflecting a moderate growth and stabilization of short-term obligations.
- Deferred income
- Starting from small values (~0.71%) in late 2020, deferred income increased slightly to about 1.07% in December 2022, then decreased gradually to near 0.83% by June 2025, indicating minor fluctuations but overall modest scale relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Long-term borrowings
- Rising initially from 25.34% in March 2020 to a peak near 28.72% in September 2020, then steadily declining to near 11.89-13.57% range by mid-2025, indicating a significant reduction in reliance on long-term debt over the analysis period.
- Insurance liabilities and annuity benefits
- Showing an overall increasing trend from 14.59% in March 2020 to a substantial rise to over 29% by mid-2025, with some fluctuations, suggesting growing obligations in insurance and annuity-related liabilities.
- Non-current compensation and benefits
- Declined consistently from about 11.87% in early 2020 to around 5.4-6.9% range toward mid-2025, indicating a reduced long-term compensation-related liability possibly due to changes in benefit plans or settlements.
- All other liabilities
- Remained relatively stable around 6.0-7.25% from March 2020 to 2023, before declining to about 5.19% by June 2025, showing a slow decrease in miscellaneous liabilities classified as non-current.
- Liabilities of discontinued operations
- Low overall with modest increases starting in late 2021, rising gradually from around 0.45% to about 1.09% by June 2025, which points to a minor but growing liability related to discontinued operations.
- Non-current liabilities
- Peaked early at 64.25% in September 2020, then gradually decreased to around 49.87-56.18% through 2023 and mid-2025, showing a general reduction in long-term obligations relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Total liabilities
- Maintained a high and relatively stable proportion around 79-86%, indicating that the company consistently finances most of its structure through liabilities rather than equity.
- Preferred stock
- No data or zero values throughout, indicating no use of preferred stock as financing.
- Common stock
- Remained negligible and fairly constant at about 0.01-0.3%, indicating minimal relative weight of common stock in the capital structure.
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net attributable to the Company
- Fluctuated mostly in the negative range from -4.13% to near zero, but with some recovery to positive 0.8% in late 2021, then back negative, indicating volatility in comprehensive income items affecting equity.
- Other capital
- Progressively increased from 13.09% in March 2020 to peaks over 19-20% by 2024, reflecting growing capital contributions or adjustments increasing equity beyond retained earnings and stock.
- Retained earnings
- Displayed a consistent upward trend from 35.73% in early 2020 to nearly 67% by mid-2025, highlighting accumulation of profits and reinforcement of equity through earnings retention.
- Common stock held in treasury
- Showed continuous growth in magnitude on the negative side from -31.49% in March 2020 to nearly -67.4% by mid-2025, representing increased treasury stock holdings substantially reducing shareholders' equity.
- Shareholders’ equity
- Experienced an increase from 13.47% in March 2020 to a peak near 20.92% in late 2021, followed by a decline to around 15.28% in mid-2025, indicating that equity value strengthened before decreasing moderately.
- Noncontrolling interests
- Remained low and generally steady around 0.6-0.7% through early 2023, before declining to about 0.17% by mid-2025, showing minor influence of minority interests over time.
- Total equity
- Peaked in late 2021 at around 20.92%, then declined toward the 15% range by mid-2025, consistent with shareholders' equity trends and indicating a slight contraction in equity base relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Total liabilities and equity
- Consistently 100%, as expected for the full financing structure.
