The company experienced a significant expansion of its total balance sheet between 2019 and 2023, with total liabilities and equity increasing from US$ 19,067 million to US$ 36,613 million. This growth was characterized by a substantial increase in both the company's obligations and its equity base, indicating a period of aggressive capital scaling.

Analysis of Liability Trends
Total liabilities grew from US$ 6,948 million in 2019 to US$ 13,442 million in 2023. A primary driver of this increase was the expansion of noncurrent liabilities, which rose from US$ 4,452 million to US$ 10,468 million over the same period. Specifically, deferred income taxes showed a consistent and steep upward trajectory, increasing from US$ 1,389 million in 2019 to US$ 4,402 million in 2023.
Long-term debt, excluding the current portion, exhibited volatility, peaking in 2021 at US$ 6,688 million before declining to US$ 4,125 million in 2022 and settling at US$ 4,807 million in 2023. Current liabilities followed a similar pattern of volatility, peaking in 2021 at US$ 4,073 million, largely driven by a spike in trade accounts payable, before moderating to US$ 2,974 million by the end of 2023.
Stockholders' Equity Dynamics
Total equity nearly doubled over the five-year period, rising from US$ 12,119 million in 2019 to US$ 23,171 million in 2023. A pivotal shift occurred in 2021, where additional paid-in capital surged from US$ 9,323 million in 2020 to US$ 19,123 million, suggesting a major equity issuance during that fiscal year.
Retained earnings demonstrated a steady growth trend, increasing from US$ 4,025 million in 2019 to US$ 7,280 million in 2023, which indicates consistent profitability and the accumulation of earnings over time. Simultaneously, the company engaged in significant share repurchases, as evidenced by treasury stock increasing from -US$ 1,069 million in 2019 to -US$ 2,617 million in 2023.

The overall capital structure reveals a balanced approach to financing. While total liabilities increased, the proportional growth in equity served to offset the increase in leverage. The combination of rising retained earnings and substantial share buybacks suggests a strategic effort to return value to shareholders while maintaining a robust equity cushion.
