- Accounts Payable
- The proportion of accounts payable fluctuates moderately, starting at 1.19% in March 2020, peaking around mid-2022 at 2.39%, and generally declining toward early 2024. The data indicate some volatility without a clear sustained upward or downward trend.
- Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
- This category shows slight oscillations between approximately 5.1% and 7.85% over the entire period. There are periods of rise notably around late 2020 and late 2021, followed by moderate declines, indicating variability in short-term obligations.
- Current Portion of Deferred Revenue
- The current deferred revenue remains consistently the largest component of liabilities, ranging near 30% to 36% across all quarters. Seasonal or cyclic fluctuations are observed with dips near Q3 2023 and rises toward Q1 2025, suggesting stable, significant short-term deferred income.
- Current Portion of Operating Lease Liabilities
- This metric shows a gradual decline in percentage from around 0.98% in early 2020 to below 0.5% by mid-2025. The downward trend suggests reduced short-term lease obligations over time.
- Current Debt, Net
- Available data is sparse, but a moderate presence is seen around 0.8% to 1.1% in late 2020 and early 2021, after which no values are provided. This points to episodic or transient current debt engagements.
- Current Liabilities
- The overall current liabilities as a share of total liabilities and equity fluctuate between 36.8% and 45.8%. Peaks occur in Q4 2021 and late 2022, with troughs around Q3 2023, indicating periodic variations in short-term liabilities.
- Deferred Revenue, Less Current Portion
- This long-term deferred revenue remains relatively low and stable, mostly within 0.3% to 0.6%. Minor fluctuations indicate consistent, modest deferred income amounts beyond one year.
- Operating Lease Liabilities, Less Current Portion
- This liability category shows a declining trend from about 7.1% in Q1 2020 to around 3.7% by mid-2025. The steady decrease indicates reduction in long-term lease obligations.
- Long-term Debt, Net, Less Current Portion
- Long-term debt exhibits a sharp rise from 10.67% in June 2020 to a notable peak of 22.13% in September 2020, followed by a consistent decline down to approximately 6.76% by mid-2025. This suggests an initial increase in long-term borrowing that was subsequently reduced over time.
- Other Long-term Liabilities
- These liabilities remain low but slowly increase from around 0.44% early on to nearly 0.95% by mid-2025, signaling modest growth in other long-term obligations.
- Long-term Liabilities
- The total long-term liabilities follow a similar pattern to long-term debt, peaking in late 2020 near 28.5%, then declining steadily to roughly 11.9% by mid-2025, indicating overall reduction in long-term obligations.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and equity vary between approximately 50.4% and 67.5%, generally trending downward from early 2020 through mid-2025. This suggests a gradual deleveraging or an increasing equity base.
- Treasury Stock, at Cost
- Data starting from late 2022 show an increasing negative balance, moving from -1.87% to -8.48% by the end of 2024, indicating significant repurchases or holdings of treasury stock, which reduces equity.
- Additional Paid-in Capital
- This equity component fluctuates broadly between 33.94% and 41.7%, showing some volatility but generally maintaining a stable contribution to equity.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
- This item oscillates around zero with negative values dominating from late 2021 onward, reaching lows of about -1.55%. The small magnitude suggests limited impact on overall equity.
- Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit)
- Retained earnings improve markedly over the period from a deficit near -4.91% in early 2020 to a surplus exceeding 19% by mid-2025. This reflects continued profitability and accumulation of earnings within equity.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Equity as a proportion of total liabilities and equity grows from roughly 32.5% in late 2020 to a peak near 50.4% by late 2024, before slightly declining towards mid-2025. This increase corroborates the trend of rising retained earnings and decreasing liabilities.
