- Accounts Payable
- The proportion of accounts payable to total liabilities and shareholders’ equity shows fluctuations over the analyzed periods, generally remaining below 1.2%. There is a notable decline starting in early 2015, reaching lows around 0.27%, followed by a moderate recovery and stabilization near 0.34% by early 2017.
- Tobacco Settlement Accruals
- This item exhibits substantial volatility, with a downward trend from the initial value of 18.56% in early 2012 to lows around 3.28% in mid-2016. After these decreases, a slight recovery takes place, rising to approximately 6.22% by the first quarter of 2017. This indicates a potential reduction in settlement obligations over time with some renewed accruals later.
- Due to Related Party
- This liability remains minimal throughout the periods, mostly around 0.01%, indicating a stable and low level of transactions or obligations with related parties.
- Deferred Revenue, Related Party
- Values are relatively low and somewhat inconsistent over the quarters, generally maintaining under 0.3%. There is a minor upward movement in late 2016 and early 2017, but the magnitude remains small relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Revolving Credit Facility Borrowings
- Available data points only in mid-2014, showing borrowings of 5.23% and 2.61%, suggesting occasional utilization of revolving credit facilities during that time frame with no indication of long-term or regular usage.
- Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt
- This proportion varies markedly, with peaks notable in late 2012 and late 2013 (above 4% and 6%, respectively) but generally remains below 3% in other periods, declining to around 0.9% in 2016 and early 2017. The changes suggest varying refinancing or repayment schedules over time.
- Dividends Payable on Common Stock
- Payments to shareholders in the form of dividends are recorded from late 2014 onward, starting near 2.34% and gradually increasing to around 1.4% by early 2017, indicating a consistent return to shareholders with slight variation in dividend obligations.
- Income Taxes Payable
- Tax liabilities appear sporadically with a significant rise to approximately 3.89% in the first quarter of 2015, then decreasing substantially by mid-2016, showing variability in tax expense timing or payments.
- Term-Loan Credit Facility
- Limited data shows usage primarily between mid-2012 and early 2013, with values ranging between 0.9% and 4.92%, indicating short-term reliance on term loans during that period without continuation in later years.
- Other Current Liabilities
- This category shows a gradual decline from about 7% in early 2012 to roughly 2% by early 2017, highlighting a reduction in miscellaneous short-term obligations relative to total liabilities and shareholders’ equity.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities as a whole fluctuate widely, with a high of nearly 31% in the third quarter of 2012 and lows around 9.23% in mid-2016. There is a notable decline starting in early 2015, followed by stabilization near 10-11% toward early 2017, suggesting a strategic reduction of short-term obligations.
- Long-Term Debt, Less Current Maturities
- Long-term debt proportions show volatility with an overall decline from an approximate peak of 33% in late 2013 and early 2014 down to about 24-25% during 2016 and early 2017. This indicates debt repayment or refinancing actions that reduced long-term debt commitments relative to total capital.
- Long-Term Deferred Income Taxes, Net
- This item experiences a significant increase starting in mid-2014, rising sharply from around 2.5% to near 20% in 2016 and staying elevated through early 2017, which may reflect changes in tax-related timing differences or accounting treatments with considerable impact on financial position.
- Long-Term Retirement Benefits, Less Current Portion
- Retirement benefit obligations demonstrate a decreasing trend from just under 10% in 2012 to near 3.5% in the latest periods, which might be due to plan changes, payments, or revaluations reducing the recognized liability.
- Long-Term Deferred Revenue, Related Party
- Data from late 2016 onward indicate very low values (0.06%-0.09%), implying minor deferred revenue obligations involving related parties.
- Other Noncurrent Liabilities
- These liabilities steadily decline from about 1.8% in early 2012 to around 0.4% in 2017, suggesting a decrease in less defined long-term obligations beneath the primary categories.
- Noncurrent Liabilities
- Overall noncurrent liabilities fluctuate but maintain a high portion of total capital, ranging from about 31.9% in late 2012 to a peak above 55% during 2015, then declining to approximately 47% by early 2017. The increase around 2015 correlates chiefly with the rise in deferred income taxes.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities generally range between 57% and 71% of total capital during the periods, with a peak in late 2014 and early 2015, followed by a steady decline toward 58% by early 2017, indicative of a gradual deleveraging or shift in capital structure.
- Paid-In Capital
- Paid-in capital shows a modest falling trend from just over 48% in early 2012 to approximately 33-35% in the latest periods, reflecting changes in equity financing or capital adjustments.
- Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit)
- The retained earnings line reveals a marked improvement from negative values around -10% in early 2012 to positive levels near 7% by early 2017. This transition suggests cumulative profitability or favorable adjustments enhancing shareholders’ equity.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
- This loss fluctuates moderately but remains a small negative component of equity, generally around -0.5%, with occasional changes indicating minor impacts from market or actuarial adjustments.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Equity ranges from roughly 28% to nearly 42% of total capital, showing a decline to below 30% in late 2014 followed by a substantial increase thereafter, peaking close to 42% by early 2017. This increase coincides with improvements in retained earnings and partial reductions in liabilities.
