- Short-term borrowings, including current portion of long-term debt
- The proportion of short-term borrowings as a percentage of total liabilities and equity experienced notable fluctuations. Initially decreasing from 9.62% in early 2020 to a low near 0.35% by April 2022, it subsequently rose with peaks approaching 5.52% in mid-2024 before declining slightly toward the most recent quarters. This indicates a variable reliance on short-term debt financing.
- Trade accounts payable
- Trade accounts payable remained relatively stable, fluctuating gently between approximately 2.18% and 3.45% of total liabilities and equity. A slight increase was observed around late 2020 to early 2022, followed by a modest decline, suggesting consistent supplier credit management.
- Dividends payable
- Dividends payable showed intermittent data points with values generally ranging from about 1.0% to 1.29%. The fluctuations lacked a clear trend but remained at modest levels, reflecting ongoing dividend obligations.
- Income taxes payable
- This liability demonstrated variability, with values mostly between 0.68% and 2.51%. Notably, it peaked in late 2020, indicating increased tax obligations, and stabilized afterward with moderate oscillations, suggesting fluctuating tax accruals over the periods.
- Accrued compensation and related items
- The relative size of accrued compensation liabilities exhibited some volatility, ranging mostly between 0.9% and 1.98%. There was a tendency for slight decreases toward mid-2023, followed by gradual increases, reflecting fluctuations in accrued employee expenses.
- Deferred revenues
- Data for deferred revenues began mid-2020, showing an overall downward trend from highs near 3.17% in late 2021 down to approximately 0.44% toward mid-2025, indicating decreasing amounts of revenue received but not yet earned.
- Other current liabilities
- This category exhibited an upward trend from about 5.7% in early 2020, peaking around 13.74% by the end of 2021, before decreasing again to levels near 7% to 9.6% in the latest periods. The pattern reflects changing short-term obligations outside of standard categories.
- Current liabilities (aggregate)
- Current liabilities as a whole fluctuated between approximately 14.48% and 24.28%. Peaks occurred around mid-2022, followed by a decline and then another rise by late 2023, demonstrating shifts in short-term obligations possibly tied to working capital management.
- Long-term debt, excluding current portion
- Long-term debt as a percentage of total liabilities and equity initially rose to almost 28.4% in mid-2020, then declined to near 16.7% by late 2022, before rebounding back to around 27.9% by mid-2025. This indicates significant fluctuations in long-term borrowing levels over the analysis period.
- Pension and postretirement benefit obligations
- This liability showed a clear declining trend, decreasing from approximately 3.9% in early 2020 to near 1.0% by 2025, suggesting a reduction in recognized pension and postretirement obligations relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Noncurrent deferred tax liabilities
- Values ranged between roughly 0.18% and 3.17%, with a significant drop after early 2021 to below 0.6%, followed by a gradual increase to near 1.2% by 2025, indicating adjustments in deferred tax liabilities over time.
- Other taxes payable
- Other taxes payable steadily declined from 7.34% in early 2020 to about 1.6% by mid-2025, reflecting a consistent decrease in this category.
- Other noncurrent liabilities
- This category saw gradual increases from about 3.8% up to peaks exceeding 7% in various later quarters, implying growth in other long-term obligations.
- Noncurrent liabilities (aggregate)
- Noncurrent liabilities decreased overall from above 45% in mid-2020 to about 29.56% by early 2023, then gradually increased to around 38% by 2025. This reflects significant reduction initially with subsequent partial recovery.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities as a proportion of total liabilities and equity decreased from around 63.7% in mid-2020 to a nadir near 48.25% in early 2023, before rising back near 56-60% in subsequent periods. This variation indicates shifting capital structure with varying debt levels.
- Common stock
- The proportion attributable to common stock steadily declined slightly within a narrow range from 0.28% down to approximately 0.22%, suggesting minimal changes in common stock equity relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Additional paid-in capital
- Additional paid-in capital showed an initial decrease from over 52% in early 2020 to around 41.9% by mid-2023, followed by a gradual recovery to approximately 45.6% by mid-2025, indicating fluctuations in equity capital contributions or retained earnings adjustments.
- Treasury stock
- The negative values for treasury stock indicate stock repurchases and fluctuated between roughly -71.96% and -50.55%. The least negative values appeared toward late 2023, implying some reduction in treasury stock holdings at that time, followed by a slight increase again.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings generally increased from around 56% early on to exceed 67% by early 2023, then declined to near 52% toward late 2023, with a moderate recovery in following quarters. This pattern reflects changes in accumulated net income available to shareholders.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- This loss decreased in magnitude from about -7.9% to near -2.9% by early 2021, but subsequently fluctuated between approximately -4.2% and -3.5%. This suggests some stabilization in other comprehensive loss components.
- Total shareholders’ equity
- Total shareholders’ equity increased from about 36% in 2020 to above 51% by early 2023, before declining to about 39% in late 2023 and recovering moderately to approximately 44.5% by mid-2025. This exhibits volatility in equity proportions within the company's capital structure.
- Total equity
- Total equity followed a pattern similar to shareholders’ equity, rising initially from about 36% to over 51%, followed by a decline and then a modest rebound to above 44% by mid-2025, indicating shifts in equity financing relative to liabilities.
