Loans payable and current portion of long-term debt
This liability fluctuates over the periods, initially decreasing significantly from 7.49% in early 2020 to lows near 0.83% by late 2023. Thereafter, it slightly rises but remains generally low under 3% of total liabilities and equity.
Trade accounts payable
Trade payables exhibit minor fluctuations staying between approximately 3.05% and 5.02%. The trend is relatively stable with no marked increase or decrease, mostly hovering around 3-4% of total liabilities and equity.
Accrued and other current liabilities
This category shows variability, ranging from about 11.09% to 15.2%. Despite some increases in mid-2021 periods, it generally underscores a consistent presence in the mid-teens to low teens percentage range.
Income taxes payable
Income taxes payable show a notable increasing trend from about 1.22% in early 2020 to a peak of 4.5% by early 2025. This signals a rising proportion of current tax obligations relative to total liabilities and equity.
Dividends payable
This liability remains relatively stable throughout the timeline, fluctuating narrowly between 1.65% and 1.9% of total liabilities and equity, indicating consistent dividend payout commitments.
Current liabilities
Current liabilities decrease from 27.66% in early 2020 to around 21.87% by early 2025, exhibiting fluctuations in the interim periods but overall a moderate downward trend.
Long-term debt, excluding current portion
Long-term debt remains a significant proportion of total liabilities and equity, generally between 24.5% and 32.61%. Noteworthy is a spike to above 32% in mid-2023, followed by a gradual decline but still maintaining high levels near 29% in early 2025.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred income taxes display a decreasing trend from 2.29% in early 2020 to below 1.5% in later periods, stabilizing near 1.2% by early 2025, indicating reduced relative deferred tax liabilities.
Other noncurrent liabilities
These liabilities exhibit a steady downward trend, falling from 13.6% in early 2020 to approximately 5.78% in early 2025, suggesting a decline in other long-term obligations.
Noncurrent liabilities
Overall noncurrent liabilities reduce slightly from about 41.37% to 36.09% over the five years, with some fluctuations, notably dropping in 2021 and maintaining a gradual decline thereafter.
Total liabilities
Total liabilities decline from a peak of over 69% in early 2020 to about 58% by early 2025, indicating a gradual reduction in total obligations relative to total liabilities and equity.

Common stock as a portion of total liabilities and equity remains relatively stable around 1.5% to 2.1%, showing limited change over the period.
Other paid-in capital
This equity component fluctuates somewhat, with a peak near 48.56% in mid-2021 before gradually decreasing to under 39% by early 2025, indicating some changes in contributed capital or equity transactions over time.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings oscillate between roughly 50.5% and 57.5%. Despite periodic declines, especially near the end of 2023, this category remains a substantial portion of equity and shows resilience with a rising trend towards early 2025.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
This account consistently shows a negative balance, though declining in absolute magnitude from -7.53% to about -4.31%, suggesting a reduction in accumulated losses within comprehensive income components.
Treasury stock
Treasury stock displays a large negative impact on equity, starting at -67.32% and improving slightly to approximately -51.6% by the end of 2024, indicating a reduction in treasury shares or cost basis effects.
Total stockholders’ equity
Stockholders’ equity fluctuates notably, initially dropping in early 2021 but then climbing from mid-2021, with levels shifting between about 27.6% and 43.5%. By early 2025, equity increases to near 42%, reflecting strengthened shareholder value proportionally.
Noncontrolling interests
Noncontrolling interests remain negligible and stable, consistently below 0.1%, indicating minimal minority shareholder presence in the capital structure.
Total equity
Total equity mirrors trends in stockholders’ equity, with fluctuations followed by a recovery and increase towards early 2025, maintaining between approximately 27.7% and 43.5%, ending near 42%.
Total liabilities and equity
As expected, this remains steady at 100%, serving as the denominator for the relative analysis of components across periods.
