Current maturities of long-term debt: Remained relatively stable and low from 2014 through much of 2017, fluctuating between 2 and 5 million US dollars. However, a sharp and anomalous spike is observed in the first two quarters of 2018 with values reaching 974 and 984 million, then quickly reverting to single-digit millons in subsequent quarters of 2019.
Short-term debt: Experienced significant volatility over the analyzed period. It increased notably in late 2014 to mid-2015, reaching peaks above 500 million US dollars. The trend continued with fluctuations, culminating in substantial increases in 2019, where values rose sharply to over 2,300 and 2,800 million by mid-2019.
Trade Payables: Showed an overall declining trend from early 2014 through 2016, moving from 2,816 million down to around 1,627 million. Starting in late 2016, a steady increase was observed, peaking around 2,928 million in late 2018, followed by a slight decline toward mid-2019.
Related Parties: The amounts due to related parties declined from 826 million in early 2014 to a lower range of approximately 445-601 million during 2016-2019, indicating reduced transactions or balances with related parties over time.
Accounts Payable: Displayed a general downward pattern from 2014 through 2016, dropping from 3,642 million to around 2,329 million. From late 2016 onwards, accounts payable progressively increased again, reaching levels above 3,555 million by late 2018, then slightly decreasing in 2019.
Accrued liabilities: This liability fluctuated moderately, starting with values around 1,300-1,500 million in early years, peaking to approximately 1,800 million in late 2017, experiencing some volatility but remaining within a similar range through 2019.
Deferred income taxes (current): Data was incomplete but showed a declining trend from 685 million in third quarter 2014 to 383 million by late 2015 with missing data afterward.
Current liabilities: Generally declined slightly from around 5,720 million in early 2014 to about 4,349 million by late 2015. Thereafter, the figure showed moderate fluctuation remaining mostly between 4,300 and 6,242 million through mid-2019.
Long-term debt, excluding current maturities: Remained relatively stable from 2014 through 2017, around 6,700 to 8,500 million. Notable increase occurred in 2016, followed by some reduction by 2018. Fluctuations continued but with a generally high level above 7,000 million through 2019.
Operating lease liabilities: Data only available from 2018 onward, showing values of approximately 1,282 to 1,304 million, indicating the recognition of operating lease obligations during this period.
Other liabilities: Remained fairly stable, ranging between roughly 1,800 and 2,300 million through the entire period, with minor fluctuations without a clear trend.
Deferred income taxes (noncurrent): Fairly consistent with minor increases, moving from around 1,577 million in 2014 to approximately 2,000 million by mid-2019, indicating a gradual rise over time.
Noncurrent liabilities: Generally increased from about 10,200 million in early 2014 to peaks above 13,000 million in 2016-2017, followed by some decline and stabilization around 12,000 to 12,700 million in 2019.
Total liabilities: Overall pattern showed an increase from approximately 15,600 million in 2014 to over 20,000 million by mid-2019, reflecting growth in both current and noncurrent liabilities despite periodic fluctuations.
Redeemable non-controlling interests: Appeared only in 2018 and 2019 with stable amounts around 116 million, implying a new or separate equity interest recognized during this period.
Ordinary shares: Consistent at 31 million US dollars until late 2017, after which a decline to 22 million was observed, suggesting possible share repurchases or reorganizations affecting par value representation.
Additional paid-in capital: Remained fairly constant around 10,200-10,300 million from 2014 to late 2018, then showed a substantial decline to approximately 7,000 million by mid-2019, signaling possible capital reductions or restructuring events.
Retained earnings: Exhibited steady growth from 4,622 million in early 2014 up to peaks near 17,939 million in late 2018, indicating cumulative profits or earnings retention. However, a significant drop to around 6,453 million occurred in early 2019, with a gradual recovery afterward.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss): Generally showed a negative balance increasing in magnitude over time from positive 98 million in early 2014 to approximately -1,462 million by mid-2019, implying ongoing comprehensive losses or adverse revaluations.
Treasury stock, at cost: Initially increased in negative value from -3,345 million in early 2014 to over -15,700 million by late 2017, indicating significant repurchases of treasury stock. Subsequently, a sharp reduction in the negative balance to around -1,155 million in early 2018 occurred, followed by moderate increases approaching -2,600 million in 2019.
Total Company share of stockholders’ equity: Declined from 11,791 million in early 2014 to a low near 6,344 million in early 2016, then exhibited a progressive recovery to over 11,000 million in late 2018. The equity level decreased slightly through 2019, maintaining around 10,000 to 10,700 million.
Non-controlling interests: Remained minimal and stable throughout, between 1 and 35 million, with no significant changes observed.
Total equity: Followed a similar pattern to company stockholders’ equity, falling from approximately 11,826 million in 2014 to a minimum near 6,073 million in early 2016, then recovering steadily to around 11,000 million by late 2018. A slight decline and fluctuation was noted in 2019 with levels fluctuating near 10,000 to 10,700 million.
Total liabilities, redeemable non-controlling interests and equity: The overall balance sheet total decreased steadily from 27,827 million in early 2014 to around 24,243 million in late 2015 before gradually increasing again to about 31,171 million by mid-2019, reflecting growth in liabilities and equity combined over the five-year horizon.
