Current portion of long-term debt
Displayed a downward trend from 5.33% in 2017 to 2.96% in 2020, before increasing to 6.95% in 2021, indicating fluctuating short-term debt obligations relative to total liabilities and equity.
Commercial paper
Absent in 2017, it rose to 4.73% in 2019, declined sharply to 1.26% in 2020, and was not recorded in 2021. This suggests a temporary use of short-term financing through commercial paper, with a reduction during the pandemic year 2020 and no evident use thereafter.
Current portion of operating lease liabilities
First recorded in 2019 at 0.32%, held steady in 2020, then declined to 0.21% in 2021, reflecting relatively stable and slightly decreasing lease-related short-term liabilities.
Accounts payable
Increased modestly from 1.62% in 2017 to 1.86% in 2019, dropped significantly to 1.09% in 2020, before recovering to 1.69% in 2021. This pattern indicates lower trade payables during 2020, perhaps reflecting reduced operational activity, with a partial rebound the following year.
Accrued interest
Relatively low but stable in early years (0.21% to 0.27%), it rose sharply to 0.78% in 2020 and remained at that level in 2021, indicating increased interest obligations during and after the pandemic period.
Accrued expenses and other liabilities
Observed a decline from 4.05% in 2017 to 1.9% in 2020, followed by an increase to 2.75% in 2021, suggesting reduced accrued liabilities during peak pandemic restrictions with some restoration afterward.
Derivative financial instruments
Gradual increase from 0.21% in 2017 to 0.31% in 2019, a decrease to 0.17% in 2020, then rising to 0.39% in 2021, reflecting variability in derivative positions and risk management activities over time.
Customer deposits
Stable around 10-11% from 2017 through 2019, dropped sharply to 5.5% in 2020, then rose again to 9.8% in 2021. This pattern likely corresponds to reduced customer bookings during pandemic-related disruptions, with recovery signs in 2021.
Current liabilities
Increased from 21.48% in 2017 to a peak of 26.23% in 2019, then declined substantially to 13.98% in 2020, followed by a rebound to 22.59% in 2021. This reflects a contraction of short-term obligations during the pandemic year and partial normalization afterwards.
Long-term debt, excluding current portion
Showed a decreasing trend from 28.48% in 2017 to 27.75% in 2019, then rose sharply to 55.31% in 2020 and increased further to 58.43% in 2021. This significant increase indicates substantial long-term borrowing, likely to manage cash flow challenges during the pandemic.
Long-term operating lease liabilities
Introduced in 2019 at 1.98%, declining slightly to 1.66% by 2021, suggesting a controlled or reduced lease obligation with respect to total liabilities and equity over the period.
Other long-term liabilities
Relatively stable, ranging from 2.03% in 2017 to 1.57% in 2021, indicating consistent non-debt long-term obligations.
Long-term liabilities
Remained steady near 30% between 2017 and 2019 before rising dramatically to 59.04% in 2020 and 61.65% in 2021, driven primarily by increased long-term debt, signifying heightened leverage in the later years.
Total liabilities
Followed an increasing trajectory from 52% in 2017 to 58% in 2019, then spiked to 73.02% in 2020 and 84.23% in 2021, illustrating a substantial addition to overall liabilities relative to shareholders' equity, mainly due to pandemic-related financing needs.
Redeemable noncontrolling interest
Present only in 2018 and 2019 at around 1.9%, absent in other years, indicating minor involvement of redeemable minority interests during those periods.
Common stock
Consistently minimal at 0.01% throughout the period, showing stable and negligible par value representation relative to total capital structure.
Paid-in capital
Decreased from 15.2% in 2017 to 11.52% in 2019, then increased markedly to 23.43% in 2021, suggesting capital injections or equity transactions to strengthen financial position during and after the pandemic.
Retained earnings
Declined sharply from 40.47% in 2017 to 0.94% in 2021, with a particularly steep drop from 38.01% in 2019 to 17.13% in 2020, reflecting accumulated losses or dividend distributions reducing retained profits substantially during the pandemic period.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
Consistently negative, ranging between -1.5% and -2.63%, with minor fluctuations, showing persistent comprehensive loss elements impacting equity.
Treasury stock
Remained negative and fairly stable between -6.18% and -7.05%, indicating repurchased stock held by the company, with slight reduction in absolute terms by 2021.
Shareholders’ equity
Declined significantly from 48% in 2017 to 15.77% in 2021, demonstrating a considerable erosion of equity relative to total capitalization, mainly driven by decreased retained earnings and increased liabilities.
Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity
Remained constant at 100% as expected, serving as the baseline for all proportional analyses.
