The total liability profile exhibits a consistent upward trajectory, increasing from 17,142 million USD in March 2018 to 33,529 million USD by March 2023. This growth is primarily driven by a substantial expansion in non-current liabilities and a steady increase in operational obligations. A notable shift in the capital structure occurred around the first quarter of 2020, where liabilities accelerated, coinciding with a significant increase in long-term borrowing.

Liability Composition and Trends
Long-term debt represents the most significant driver of total liabilities, rising from 6,469 million USD in March 2018 to 15,292 million USD by March 2023. A sharp inflection point is observed between December 2019 and March 2020, where long-term debt surged from 8,527 million USD to 12,466 million USD, remaining elevated thereafter.
Accrued expenses demonstrate a steady long-term increase, growing from 4,501 million USD to 7,310 million USD, indicating a rise in short-term operational obligations. Settlement obligations exhibit higher volatility, peaking at 2,714 million USD in December 2019 before stabilizing at lower levels in subsequent years.
Current liabilities have fluctuated but generally trended upward, moving from 8,948 million USD to 13,651 million USD, reflecting an increase in the scale of short-term financial commitments.
Equity and Capital Management
Retained earnings show robust and consistent growth, increasing from 23,852 million USD in March 2018 to 55,424 million USD in March 2023, signaling strong cumulative profitability over the period.
This growth in retained earnings is heavily offset by an aggressive treasury stock repurchase program. The cost of treasury stock grew from 22,143 million USD (negative) to 54,241 million USD (negative) over the five-year span, indicating a strategic prioritization of returning capital to shareholders.
Total stockholders' equity has remained relatively range-bound compared to the growth in liabilities. After reaching a peak of 7,312 million USD in December 2021, total equity declined to 5,330 million USD by March 2023, primarily due to the continued expansion of treasury stock buybacks.
Solvency and Leverage Insights
The relationship between total liabilities and total equity has shifted toward higher leverage. While total liabilities nearly doubled, total equity ended the period near its 2018 levels, suggesting a deliberate increase in the company's debt-to-equity ratio to fund operations and shareholder returns.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss showed a general widening trend, moving from 373 million USD in March 2018 to a peak of 1,617 million USD in September 2022, before moderating slightly to 1,229 million USD by March 2023.
