- Notes payable and short-term borrowings
- This metric demonstrates considerable volatility over the observed quarters, initially fluctuating between 6.07% and 7.21% in 2013, then declining significantly to below 1% levels in 2016 before increasing moderately again through 2019. This suggests episodic reliance on short-term borrowings with notable reductions in certain years.
- Accounts payable
- Accounts payable as a percentage of total liabilities and equity shows a clear upward trend, rising from around 11% in early 2013 to above 45% by mid-2019. The growth is more pronounced after 2015, indicating increasing obligations to suppliers or delayed payments which could reflect strategic cash flow management or supply chain dynamics.
- Employee compensation and benefits
- This proportion remains relatively stable but generally decreases over time. It declines from around 3.3% in 2013 to just below 3% by 2019, with some minor fluctuations. This trend could indicate efficiency improvements or changes in workforce compensation relative to total company financing.
- Taxes on earnings
- The ratio exhibits slight variability without a clear trend, ranging mostly between 0.4% and 1.2%. Peaks and troughs suggest varying profitability and tax expense impacts over the periods, reflecting operational and fiscal changes.
- Accrued restructuring
- This liability is relatively minor and exhibits occasional decreases, with some missing data in later periods, possibly implying a reduction in restructuring activities over time.
- Other accrued liabilities
- While fluctuating, this component consistently represents a significant portion of liabilities, rising notably to more than 25% in several later periods after 2015. This suggests an increasing share of other accrued obligations impacting the company’s short-term liabilities.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities maintain a substantial and increasing share of total financing, rising from approximately 41.6% in early 2013 to over 75% in recent years. This progressive increase is consistent with the growth in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, highlighting a heavier reliance on short-term obligations.
- Long-term debt, excluding current portion
- This component declines overall from about 20% in early 2013 to roughly 14-15% by 2019, with a peak around 26% in 2015-2016. The decrease in later years suggests reduced long-term debt or changing debt structure favoring short-term liabilities.
- Other non-current liabilities
- These liabilities show a mild downward trend, decreasing from around 16% to approximately 13% over the entire period, indicating a reduction in certain long-term obligations, albeit with some fluctuations.
- Non-current liabilities
- Overall, non-current liabilities diminish from about 36.5% in 2013 to around 27.6% in 2019, reflecting decreases in long-term debt and other non-current liabilities, potentially signaling a shift toward more current or shorter-term financing structures.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities remain the dominant part of the company's capital structure but generally decline from roughly 78% in early 2013 to approximately 103-119% in the middle years due to accounting or reporting anomalies, followed by a moderate decrease to around 103-105% by 2019, indicating fluctuating leverage levels.
- Common stock
- The proportion of common stock remains negligible and stable, consistently near 0.05%, indicating no significant equity issuance or buybacks during the periods.
- Additional paid-in capital
- This shows a declining trend from nearly 6% in 2013 to below 2% by late 2015, followed by some recovery to around 2.4% by 2019, which may reflect equity capital changes and possibly share repurchases or financings.
- Retained earnings (accumulated deficit)
- Retained earnings exhibit significant fluctuation. Starting positive and increasing up to about 30% by 2015, the values then sharply turn negative from late 2015 onwards, reaching approximately -3.3% by 2019. This inflection suggests a major adjustment, possibly a result of large losses, dividends, or accounting restatements affecting accumulated profits.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- There is considerable variability here, with losses generally ranging between -5% and -3% earlier and improving somewhat to around -2.5% by 2019. A notable spike to -17.65% in early 2016 indicates a substantial, although temporary, adverse impact on comprehensive income.
- Total HP stockholders’ equity (deficit)
- Equity proportions mirror the behavior of retained earnings and other comprehensive loss, showing positive values around 23-28% initially followed by a sharp decline into negative territory (approximately -19% to -3.5%) from 2016 onward. This reflects a transition into equity deficiency, suggesting that liabilities have exceeded assets in those periods.
- Non-controlling interests
- This remains stable at about 0.35-0.4% in the periods reported without data beyond 2015, indicating minor influence on total equity.
- Total stockholders’ equity (deficit)
- Overall stockholders’ equity follows the same pattern as total HP stockholders’ equity, declining from about 26% positive in the early years to a deficit position by 2016, recovering moderately but remaining negative through 2019. This underscores a period of financial strain or restructuring.
- Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity (deficit)
- This sum remains fixed at 100% for all periods as expected representing the full capital structure.
