Short-term Borrowings
The proportion of short-term borrowings relative to total liabilities and equity generally declined from 7.16% in March 2020 to a low of 0.63% in March 2024, followed by a modest increase to 1.68% by March 2025. This trend indicates a reduction in reliance on short-term debt over the longer term, with a slight resurgence toward the final quarters.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable exhibited an upward trend from 5.81% in March 2020 to a peak near 10.08% in September 2023, before decreasing to approximately 6.95% in March 2025. The fluctuations suggest variations in supplier credit or payment practices, notably increasing through 2022 and tapering in subsequent quarters.
Progress Collections and Contract Liabilities
From March 2024, progress collections and contract liabilities were reported, comprising roughly 5-7.75% of total liabilities and equity. These figures show a slight upward movement, indicative of growing unearned revenue or advances from customers.
Progress Collections and Current Deferred Income (Legacy)
This legacy category increased steadily from 7.56% in March 2020 to a peak of 12.64% in March 2024, after which it ceased being reported separately, likely replaced by updated classifications.
Sales Discounts and Allowances
Recorded since March 2024, sales discounts and allowances accounted for nearly 3% of total liabilities and equity, remaining stable in the short term.
All Other Current Liabilities
The percentage represented by other current liabilities rose from approximately 6.22% in March 2020, peaking near 8.34% in September 2022, before declining sharply to around 3.39% by March 2025. This decrease towards the end of the period suggests a reduction in miscellaneous current obligations.
Liabilities of Businesses Held for Sale
These liabilities displayed intermittent presence, increasing to about 2.07% mid-2020, fluctuating near 1% thereafter, and dropping sharply to near zero by the end of the period, indicating the divestiture or completion of sales processes.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities as a whole increased from 26.83% in March 2020 to a peak above 31% in late 2023, then fell to approximately 28.15% by March 2025. This trend is consistent with overall growth in short-term obligations followed by stabilization or reduction.
Deferred Income
Deferred income rose from 0.71% in early 2021 to about 1.07% in late 2022 but gradually declined to 0.85% by March 2025, indicating a moderate accumulation followed by minor declines in deferred revenue recognition.
Long-term Borrowings
Long-term borrowings decreased markedly from 28.24% in June 2020 to a low near 11.89% in March 2024, followed by a rise back to around 14.09% by March 2025. This suggests initial debt reduction efforts with some re-leveraging later.
Insurance Liabilities and Annuity Benefits
These liabilities showed a general increasing trend, moving from 14.59% in March 2020 to a notable high of over 30% by mid-2024, then slightly decreasing but remaining elevated around 29.35% in March 2025. This substantial increase points to growing obligations related to insurance and annuity products.
Non-current Compensation and Benefits
This obligation declined over time from around 11.87% in March 2020 to approximately 5.54% by March 2025, suggesting either benefit plan changes, actuarial adjustments, or liability settlements.
All Other Liabilities
All other liabilities remained relatively stable between 5% and 7% throughout the period, with minor fluctuations and a dip in late 2023 to early 2024.
Liabilities of Discontinued Operations
These liabilities increased slightly from negligible amounts in early 2020 to around 1.08% by March 2025, signifying ongoing obligations related to divested or inactive business units.
Non-current Liabilities
Non-current liabilities as a portion of total liabilities and equity declined from a peak of 64.25% in September 2020 to roughly 49.87% in mid-2023 but rebounded above 56% by March 2025, reflecting changes in the composition and maturity of long-term obligations.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities remained stable overall, fluctuating near the mid-80% range of total liabilities and equity, with a low near 79% in late 2021 and a high of approximately 85.93% in early 2020. This consistency indicates strong stable leverage levels throughout the period.
Common Stock and Preferred Stock
Common stock remained a consistent but small fraction around 0.01%-0.3%, with preferred stock not reported, indicating no preferred shares issued or outstanding.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
This component showed volatility, improving temporarily to positive values near 0.8% in late 2021 but generally remaining negative around -3% thereafter, representing fluctuating unrealized gains and losses impacting equity.
Other Capital
Other capital steadily increased from about 13.09% in March 2020 to roughly 20.52% in June 2024, followed by a slight decline. This rise suggests retained earnings or contributed capital growth beyond common stock and retained earnings.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings showed a robust and steady increase from 35.73% in early 2020 to over 66% by March 2025, indicating strong accumulation of profits reinvested in the company.
Common Stock Held in Treasury
The treasury stock balance was substantially negative and deepened over time from -31.49% in March 2020 to nearly -66.89% in March 2025. This indicates significant ongoing share repurchases, reducing the number of shares outstanding and shareholders' equity base.
Shareholders’ Equity and Total Equity
Shareholders’ equity as a percentage of total liabilities and equity increased from 13.47% in March 2020 to a peak near 20.92% in September 2021 before fluctuating and ending near 15.51% in March 2025. Total equity followed a similar pattern, suggesting variations in equity components over time, influenced by share repurchases, accumulated comprehensive income, and retained earnings growth.
Overall Capital Structure
The capital structure remained heavily weighted towards liabilities, with total liabilities consistently constituting about 80-85% of total liabilities and equity. Equity components increased until late 2021 but receded somewhat thereafter. The increasing retained earnings combined with growing treasury stock balances suggest active management of equity to optimize financial leverage.
