- Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
- The accounts payable and accrued expenses displayed a generally increasing trend over the analyzed period. Beginning at $2,045 million in March 2018, the figure rose steadily with minor fluctuations, reaching $3,133 million by September 2023. Notably, the increase accelerated post-2020, indicating potentially higher operating activity or changes in payment cycles.
- Unearned Income
- Unearned income grew consistently from $934 million in March 2018 to a peak near $1,826 million in December 2021, after which it showed modest fluctuations but largely maintained elevated levels around $1,838 million by September 2023. This reflects an increase in advance payments or deferred revenues during the timeframe.
- Income Taxes Payable
- Income taxes payable exhibited variability without a clear directional trend throughout the period. Starting at $106 million in March 2018, the value fluctuated with intermittent peaks, attaining a high of $208 million in September 2023. This volatility may stem from changes in taxable income or adjustments in tax liabilities across quarters.
- Current Portion of Long-Term Debt
- This item remained relatively stable around $100 million through 2018 and 2019 but experienced a noticeable increase starting in 2020, reaching around $150 million by the end of 2022. A significant spike occurred in mid-2023, where the balance surged above $1,300 million, indicating a reclassification or scheduled maturity of a large portion of long-term debt to current liabilities.
- Other Current Liabilities
- Other current liabilities showed a marked increase from $10 million in March 2018 to around $211 million in late 2018 and into 2019. Following that, the balance gradually decreased to approximately $137 million in September 2023, indicating a possible normalization or settlement of outstanding items classified under this category.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities overall trended upwards, beginning at approximately $3,199 million in early 2018 and rising steadily to $6,589 million by September 2023. The increase was especially pronounced from 2020 onwards, reflecting growth in payables, accrued expenses, current portion of long-term debt, and other current liabilities.
- Long-Term Debt, Less Current Portion
- The long-term debt balance exhibited slight fluctuations with a general upward trend early on, peaking around $12,384 million in late 2020. Thereafter, it fluctuated but largely remained in the range of $12,000 to $12,500 million, reflecting steady leverage with minor adjustments due to repayments or new borrowings.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred income taxes showed a steady decline from $828 million in early 2018 to a low near $338 million by late 2020, followed by some recovery and intermittent fluctuations, stabilizing around the mid-$300 million mark in late 2023. This trend may relate to changes in tax basis differences or accounting treatments.
- Long-Term Operating Lease Liabilities
- Long-term operating lease liabilities were first noted in 2019, starting near $401 million, gradually decreasing to $217 million by September 2023. This reduction likely reflects lease expirations, renegotiations, or shifts in lease accounting policies.
- Other Liabilities and Noncurrent Liabilities
- Other liabilities increased from approximately $413 million in early 2018 to a peak near $703 million in late 2023, indicating growth in miscellaneous long-term obligations. Correspondingly, total noncurrent liabilities grew from about $11,583 million in March 2018 to peak near $13,745 million in mid-2023 before slightly decreasing, showing an overall upward trajectory in long-term obligations.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities increased steadily from $14,782 million in early 2018 to over $20,000 million by mid-2023, with minor declines observed toward September 2023. This increase underscores the company's growing obligations over time, particularly in current and noncurrent liabilities.
- Common Stock and Additional Paid-In Capital
- Capital related to common stock and additional paid-in capital remained relatively stable near $11,000 million throughout the period, with minor fluctuations indicating limited issuance or repurchase of equity capital.
- Retained Earnings
- The retained earnings balance exhibited consistent growth, rising from $605 million in early 2018 to $4,223 million by September 2023. This trend reflects sustained profitability and retained income supporting equity growth over the evaluated quarters.
- Treasury Stock, at Cost
- Treasury stock values became increasingly negative over time, moving from -$3,460 million in early 2018 to approximately -$8,509 million in September 2023. This trend denotes aggressive or ongoing share repurchase initiatives, reducing outstanding shares and impacting shareholders' equity.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) showed a downward trend, starting positive at $254 million in early 2018 before declining into a negative balance approaching -$903 million by late 2023. This deterioration implies accumulated losses from components such as foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized gains/losses, or pension liabilities.
- Equity Attributable to Stockholders
- Equity attributable to stockholders decreased from $8,196 million in early 2018 to a trough near $5,347 million in late 2022, followed by a modest recovery to about $5,805 million by September 2023. The decline over the period can largely be attributed to increasing treasury stock balances and accumulated comprehensive losses offset partially by growth in retained earnings.
- Non-Controlling Interests
- The non-controlling interests remained relatively stable around $250 to $280 million across the available periods, indicating no significant changes in ownership stakes of minority shareholders.
- Total Stockholders’ Equity
- Total stockholders’ equity follows a similar pattern to attributable equity, decreasing from $8,453 million in early 2018 to approximately $5,748 million by June 2023, with a slight increase of about $57 million by September 2023. This generally downward trajectory reflects the interplay of share repurchases, retained earnings growth, and accumulated other comprehensive loss.
- Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
- The combined total of liabilities and equity fluctuated moderately within the range of $22,235 million to $26,037 million across the timeframe, indicating relative balance sheet expansion with peaks around 2023. This reflects the company's total capitalization and funding structure evolving steadily without large abrupt changes.
