Total liabilities exhibited a general downward trajectory from March 2019 to June 2024, declining from $15.37 billion to $11.87 billion. A significant contraction in the total liability profile occurred between September 2023 and December 2023, where obligations dropped from $14.42 billion to $12.25 billion. This overall reduction is primarily driven by a consistent decrease in non-current liabilities.
