The capital structure exhibits a moderate fluctuation in the balance between debt and equity over the five-year period. Total liabilities increased from 55.04% of total assets and equity in 2017 to a peak of 61.89% in 2020, before contracting to 57.04% by the end of 2021.

Long-Term Debt and Noncurrent Liabilities
Noncurrent liabilities represent the most significant portion of the company's obligations. This category rose from 39.34% in 2017 to 47.20% in 2020, driven primarily by long-term debt, which peaked at 38.54% of the total balance sheet in 2020. By 2021, long-term debt decreased to 36.01%, contributing to the overall reduction in noncurrent liabilities to 43.91%.
Short-Term Obligations and Liquidity
Current liabilities showed a general downward trend, moving from 15.70% in 2017 to 13.14% in 2021. A notable shift is observed in the current maturities of debt, which decreased from a high of 5.04% in 2018 to a negligible 0.02% in 2021, suggesting a strategic shift in debt maturity profiles or a significant repayment of short-term obligations. Accounts payable remained relatively stable, with a slight increase to 3.26% in 2021 compared to 2.19% in 2017.
Equity Composition and Retained Earnings
Retained earnings constitute the primary component of stockholders' equity, though they experienced a gradual decline from 40.48% in 2017 to 36.30% in 2020, before rebounding to 38.92% in 2021. Additional paid-in capital showed a steady contraction from 6.74% in 2017 to 5.46% in 2021. Accumulated other comprehensive loss remained a consistent negative factor, fluctuating between -1.53% and -3.37% over the period.
Other Liability Trends
Accrued expenses and other liabilities saw a decrease from 5.44% in 2017 to 4.23% in 2021. A new line item, accrued product liabilities, appeared in 2019 at 1.10%, peaked at 1.50% in 2020, and settled at 1.16% in 2021, indicating a formalized accounting for product-related obligations during this timeframe.
