Accounts payable: Displayed a generally increasing trend over the observed period, rising from 2,233 million to a peak of 4,111 million before slightly declining to 4,010 million. This indicates a growth in short-term obligations to suppliers and vendors.
Accrued salaries: Fluctuated moderately, increasing from 1,150 million to a peak of 2,134 million, then declining more recently to around 1,865 million. This suggests variable payroll accruals possibly influenced by seasonal or operational changes.
Other accrued expenses: Experienced an overall upward movement with periodic fluctuations, increasing from 1,868 million to a high of 3,481 million before declining slightly toward the end, indicative of rising miscellaneous obligations or accrued costs.
Government stimulus refund liability: Absent in early periods, introduced significantly in mid-2020 at approximately 4,999 million rising to 6,123 million, then discontinued in subsequent quarters. This reflects temporary government-related financial adjustments likely related to external support programs.
Long-term debt due within one year: Showed substantial variability, with notable spikes such as 1,697 million in early 2018 and 3,796 million in early 2019, then fluctuating irregularly, ending at 1,486 million. This volatility indicates active debt management and refinancing activity impacting short-term maturities.
Current liabilities: Increased over time from 5,463 million to peaks above 12,856 million in mid-2020 with fluctuations thereafter, reflecting growing short-term financial obligations consistent with operational scale and external factors such as pandemic impacts.
Long-term debt due after one year: Remained relatively stable with slight incremental growth from about 31,302 million to 36,210 million, indicating a relatively consistent long-term debt profile with gradual increases likely from new borrowings or debt refinancing.
Professional liability risks: Incrementally increased over the period from 1,134 million to approximately 1,508 million, demonstrating a gradual growth in estimated liabilities related to professional risk exposures.
Right-of-use noncurrent operating lease obligations: Data recorded starting late 2019, showing a steady increase from 1,494 million to 1,790 million by early 2022, reflecting recognition of lease liabilities under updated accounting standards and expansion or renegotiation of leases.
Income taxes and other liabilities: Rose from about 1,253 million to a peak near 2,800 million in late 2021, followed by a decrease, indicating variability in tax accruals and other long-term obligations, possibly influenced by changes in profitability or tax regulation.
Noncurrent liabilities: Displayed an upward trend from approximately 33,689 million to 41,276 million, evidencing increased long-term financial commitments.
Total liabilities: Consistently increased from 39,152 million to 51,794 million, highlighting a growth in the overall debt and obligations of the entity throughout the period.
Common stock $0.01 par: Remained stable at approximately 3 to 4 million, indicating no significant changes in common stock par value issued.
Capital in excess of par value: Recorded only from mid-2020, showing an increasing trend from 88 million to 294 million, reflecting additional paid-in capital from equity transactions during this period.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss: Varied over time with losses generally deepening from -320 million to around -571 million, then partially recovering toward the end, reflecting fluctuations in unrealized gains and losses on certain assets and liabilities.
Retained earnings (deficit): Significant improvement observed, shifting from a deficit of -6,701 million to positive territory in early 2021 at 777 million, then declining back into deficit ending at -1,589 million, demonstrating considerable volatility in accumulated results from operations.
Stockholders’ equity (deficit) attributable to the entity: Improved from a deficit near -7,017 million to a positive value by 2020 end, peaking at 572 million before declining again to -2,033 million, reflecting swings in net assets likely influenced by profitability, comprehensive income, and equity changes.
Noncontrolling interests: Experienced gradual increase from 1,660 million to approximately 2,520 million before somewhat stabilizing, indicating growing minority interests in consolidated entities.
Total stockholders’ equity (deficit): Followed a similar trajectory to attributable equity, moving from negative near -5,357 million to positive values in 2020-2021, then declining again to 414 million by early 2022, signaling fluctuations in overall equity capitalization.
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity (deficit): Increased steadily from 33,795 million to 52,208 million, reflecting growth in both liabilities and equity components, consistent with expansion in the company's consolidated financial position over time.
