- Short-term borrowings
- The proportion of short-term borrowings relative to total liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interest, and equity remains consistently low and stable throughout the observed periods, generally under 1%. Fluctuations were minor with occasional small increases, but no significant upward or downward trend is apparent.
- Accounts payable
- Accounts payable as a percentage of the total fluctuated somewhat, starting at 7.86% in March 2020 and declining to around 4.45%-5.7% in subsequent quarters of 2020 and early 2021. From mid-2021 onwards, a steady increasing trend is apparent, reaching 8.15% by March 2025, indicating a growing reliance or accumulation of payables as part of current liabilities.
- Accrued employee compensation
- Data on accrued employee compensation starts from late 2020, showing some variability within a range close to 1.1%-1.8%. The values show moderate fluctuations over the quarters, without any clear direction towards significant increase or decrease.
- Other accrued liabilities
- This category fluctuates between roughly 6.0% and 10.5% throughout the period. Initially diminishing from near 9% in early 2020 to around 6% in 2021, it then increases gradually again reaching approximately 9.2% by early 2025, signaling a varying but appreciable component of liabilities over time.
- Contract liabilities
- Contract liabilities show a rising trend starting from approximately 4.6% in March 2020 to a level exceeding 11% by March 2025. This steady increase suggests a growing amount of deferred revenue or obligations related to contracts within total liabilities and equity.
- Long-term debt currently due
- The portion of long-term debt currently due remains relatively low, with some intermittent increases such as sharper rises in late 2023 and again towards late 2024 and early 2025, peaking at 1.89% in September 2024. Overall, it represents a small but variable part of the total financial structure.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities, redeemable interest, and equity show a slight upward trajectory—from about 22.6% in early 2021 up to almost 32% by early 2025. This increase indicates a rising share of short-term obligations relative to the overall capital structure.
- Long-term debt excluding currently due
- The share of long-term debt (excluding amounts currently due) declines noticeably from nearly 31% in March 2020 to around 23% by early 2025. While there is some volatility, the overall pattern reflects a gradual reduction, possibly indicating repayments or reclassification of debt.
- Operating lease liabilities, non-current
- Operating lease liabilities as a percentage of the total remain fairly consistent, fluctuating slightly between 0.87% and 1.52%, showing no significant shift in lease obligations over the period.
- Future pension and postretirement benefit obligations
- A marked decline is visible in these obligations, dropping from a peak of over 9% in mid-2020 to approximately 1.25% by March 2025. This substantial decrease may reflect changes in actuarial assumptions, funding patterns, or benefit structures.
- Other long-term liabilities
- Other long-term liabilities steadily decline from about 12.5% in early 2020 to around 4.2% by early 2025. This gradual reduction suggests a decrease in miscellaneous long-term obligations or reclassification within liability categories.
- Long-term liabilities (total)
- The total long-term liabilities fall from around 47% in March 2020 to slightly below 30% by early 2025. This downward trend illustrates a considerable deleveraging or shift towards shorter-term financing or equity over the analyzed timeline.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities decrease from nearly 70% in March 2020 to about 62% by early 2025, with fluctuations in between. While liabilities remain a dominant part of the capital structure, the reduction points to a modest strengthening of equity financing or reduction in debt liabilities.
- Redeemable noncontrolling interest
- This interest remains negligible and stable at about 0.02% throughout the period, indicating minimal impact on the overall structure.
- Common stock
- The proportion of common stock shows slight growth from around 16.5% in early 2020 to consistently above 22% from 2022 onwards with minor fluctuations, reflecting sustained or slightly increased equity issuance or valuation.
- Treasury stock
- Treasury stock shows a trend towards increased negative balance, moving from around -6.4% in mid-2020 to approximately -16.4% by early 2025, indicating a significant increase in stock repurchases or holdings of treasury shares over time.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings maintain a generally stable percentage around 30%-33%, showing a consistent accumulation of earnings retained within the company without material erosion or growth.
- Unearned ESOP shares
- Unearned employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) shares remain minimal and negative, ranging approximately from -0.04% to near zero, suggesting limited fluctuations in this component.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- This item improves notably, moving from a substantial negative near -8.5% in early 2020 to a much smaller negative close to -2% by 2025, reflecting a reduction in accumulated losses recognized in other comprehensive income elements.
- Shareowners’ equity
- Shareowners’ equity as a percentage of total liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interest, and equity increases from about 28% in early 2020 to a peak near 46% in 2022 before decreasing to approximately 37% by early 2025, indicative of volatility in equity financing or valuation within the period.
- Noncontrolling interest
- Noncontrolling interest remains a small and stable part of the total, hovering around 1% to 1.1%, with very minor increases over the period, reflecting limited changes in noncontrolling ownership stakes.
- Total equity
- Total equity follows a similar pattern to shareowners’ equity, increasing sharply from about 30% in early 2020 to near 47% in 2022, followed by a decline to around 38% by early 2025, highlighting shifts between equity and liabilities in the firm's capital structure.
