Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Quarterly Data

The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.

Liabilities represents obligations of a company arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the entity.

Notes payable and short-term borrowings: These liabilities showed fluctuations over the periods, decreasing from early 2018 to late 2018, then markedly increasing in late 2019 and showing a peak in early 2023 before declining again in early 2024. This indicates variability in short-term financing needs or refinancing activity across quarters.
Accounts payable: Accounts payable remained relatively stable with moderate fluctuations until 2019, followed by an increasing trend starting late 2021 and reaching a significant peak in early 2024. This suggests an increase in purchases on credit or delayed payments over recent quarters.
Employee compensation and benefits: There is notable volatility in employee-related expenses, with declines seen during 2020, potentially related to the pandemic, and a recovery with an upward trend from 2021 to late 2023. The early 2024 figures show a reduction, possibly reflecting cost management or workforce changes.
Taxes on earnings: Taxes on earnings followed a downward trend from early 2018 through late 2019. From 2020 onwards, the figures were relatively stable with slight increases and decreases, showing no strong directional trend, but generally lower than pre-2019 levels.
Deferred revenue: Deferred revenue exhibited a consistent increasing pattern throughout the entire period with minor fluctuations. This steady accumulation reflects ongoing advance payments or contract liabilities growing over time.
Accrued restructuring: Accrued restructuring liabilities decreased overall from 2018 to 2024, with some intermittent increases, notably around mid-2020 and late 2021. The general downward trend suggests a decline in restructuring activities.
Other accrued liabilities: Other accrued liabilities showed variability but remained within a broad range. Peaks and troughs appear irregular, with relatively elevated values in late 2019 and early 2020, and a general stability followed by slight increases toward the end of the period.
Current liabilities: Current liabilities fluctuated, showing a gradual decline between 2018 and 2019, followed by a rise in 2020 peaking mid-year, then varying around a generally elevated level through 2024. This reflects changing short-term obligations and working capital dynamics.
Long-term debt: Long-term debt decreased moderately from early 2018 to late 2019, then increased substantially in 2020, peaking during mid-2020, after which it declined steadily towards early 2024. This pattern indicates financing structure adjustments and possible debt repayment or refinancing.
Other non-current liabilities: These liabilities fluctuated moderately throughout the period without a definitive trend, maintaining within a relatively narrow band. The values were generally stable from 2020 onward, indicating consistent long-term obligations aside from debt.
Non-current liabilities: Non-current liabilities showed a declining trend from early 2018 to late 2022, followed by slight increases and declines through early 2024. The decreasing trend reflects repayment or reduction of longer-term liabilities over the years.
Total liabilities: Total liabilities fell from early 2018 through 2019, increased notably in 2020, and then exhibited fluctuations with a general stabilization through 2024. The fluctuations likely reflect changes in debt levels and working capital.
Common stock, $0.01 par value: The reported common stock value remained nearly constant across all periods, indicating no significant issuance or buyback affecting par value.
Additional paid-in capital: This equity component showed a gradual decrease from early 2018 to late 2019, stabilizing and then exhibiting minor fluctuations through 2024, suggesting limited equity financing or share issuance activity.
Accumulated deficit: The accumulated deficit worsened from early 2018 through mid-2020, reaching a peak negative value, then improved markedly from late 2020 onwards. The improvement signals increased profitability or effective loss reduction over recent years.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss: This loss fluctuated but showed a tendency to decrease in magnitude from 2018 through late 2021, followed by oscillations without a clear trend in more recent periods. This reflects changes in unrealized gains/losses in comprehensive income components.
Total stockholders’ equity: Equity declined from early 2018 to early 2021, possibly due to losses or distributions, then increased steadily from 2021 through 2024, indicating improved financial health and retained earnings growth.
Non-controlling interests: Non-controlling interests remained low and stable with minor fluctuations, indicating a relatively consistent minority ownership stake across periods.
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity: The total of liabilities plus equity showed a decreasing trend from early 2018 through late 2019, followed by increases in 2020, slight declines in 2021 and 2022, and increases again through early 2024, reflecting the overall changes in the company’s balance sheet size driven by liabilities and equity movements.
