Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31).

Overall, the liability and equity structure of the company demonstrates significant fluctuations over the five-year period. Total liabilities increased from US$86.7 billion in 2021 to US$103.9 billion in 2025, while total equity experienced a more volatile pattern, decreasing to US$61.4 billion in 2023 before recovering to US$67.1 billion in 2025. The overall size of the company, as measured by total liabilities plus equity, also increased over the period.

Short-Term Borrowings
Short-term borrowings exhibited considerable volatility. A substantial increase occurred between 2021 and 2022, rising from US$134 million to US$625 million. This was followed by a decline in subsequent years, stabilizing around US$200 million by 2025. This suggests a shift in short-term financing strategies.
Accounts Payable & Contract Liabilities
Accounts payable and contract liabilities consistently increased throughout the period. Accounts payable rose from US$8.75 billion in 2021 to US$15.89 billion in 2025, indicating a growing reliance on trade credit. Contract liabilities also showed a steady upward trend, increasing from US$13.72 billion to US$21.62 billion, potentially reflecting increased deferred revenue from long-term contracts.
Accrued Liabilities
Accrued employee compensation and other accrued liabilities both increased over the period, though with some fluctuation. Accrued employee compensation rose from US$2.66 billion to US$3.31 billion, while other accrued liabilities peaked at US$14.92 billion in 2023 before decreasing slightly to US$14.35 billion in 2025. These increases suggest potential growth in personnel costs and other operational obligations.
Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt, including both currently due and excluding currently due portions, demonstrated a complex pattern. While total long-term debt decreased from US$51.26 billion in 2021 to US$45.54 billion in 2022, it increased to US$53.66 billion in 2023 before decreasing again to US$45.16 billion in 2025. The portion currently due also increased significantly over the period, indicating a potential need for refinancing or increased short-term liquidity.
Pension & Postretirement Obligations
Future pension and postretirement benefit obligations experienced a substantial decrease, falling from US$7.86 billion in 2021 to US$2.07 billion in 2025. This suggests successful management of pension liabilities, potentially through plan freezes or lump-sum settlements.
Shareowners’ Equity
Shareowners’ equity exhibited significant volatility. It decreased from US$73.07 billion in 2021 to US$59.80 billion in 2023, primarily driven by a substantial increase in treasury stock. A partial recovery occurred in 2024 and 2025, reaching US$65.25 billion, but equity levels remained below those of the earlier years. The increase in treasury stock suggests significant share repurchase activity.
Retained Earnings
Retained earnings remained relatively stable, increasing modestly from US$50.27 billion in 2021 to US$56.72 billion in 2025. This indicates consistent profitability, although the growth was not substantial enough to offset the impact of share repurchases on overall equity.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased throughout the period, from negative US$1.92 billion in 2021 to negative US$2.72 billion in 2025. This suggests unrealized losses in certain investments or hedging activities are impacting equity.

In conclusion, the company’s financial structure has undergone notable changes. While liabilities have generally increased, equity has experienced greater fluctuations, influenced by share repurchase programs and changes in pension obligations. The increases in accounts payable and contract liabilities suggest a growing scale of operations and deferred revenue recognition.
