Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2015-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2014-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2013-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2012-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2011-12-31).
The capital structure of the entity exhibits a gradual shift from a high-leverage position toward a slightly more equity-funded base between 2011 and 2015. Total liabilities, which peaked at 85.61% of total liabilities and equity in 2013, declined to 81.74% by the end of 2015. Conversely, total equity increased from 15.61% in 2011 to 18.26% in 2015, indicating a modest improvement in the solvency profile over the five-year period.
- Long-Term Obligation Trends
- Long-term debt, excluding current maturities, represents the most significant component of the balance sheet. This item showed a consistent downward trend, decreasing from 50.38% in 2011 to 45.65% in 2015. In contrast, deferred income tax liabilities, net, increased steadily from 21.12% to 26.04% over the same period, becoming a more prominent portion of the noncurrent liability structure.
- Short-Term Liability Dynamics
- Total current liabilities experienced a general contraction, falling from 11.12% in 2011 to 8.01% in 2015. A primary driver of this reduction was the sharp decline in current maturities of long-term debt, which dropped from 4.40% in 2011 to a negligible 0.01% by 2015. Other current liabilities remained relatively stable, though they saw a slight increase to 4.22% in 2015. Accrued programming and content expenses showed a marginal but steady increase from 1.67% to 2.00%.
- Equity Composition and Retained Earnings
- The equity structure is primarily driven by additional paid-in capital, which remained relatively stable around the 14% to 16% range. Retained earnings exhibited significant volatility, moving from 0.14% in 2011 to an accumulated deficit of -0.11% in 2013, before recovering strongly to 3.91% by 2015. This trend suggests a transition toward greater retained profitability in the later years of the period. Accumulated other comprehensive income remained generally negative, fluctuating between -1.33% and 0.09%.
- Overall Liability Profile
- Noncurrent liabilities remained the dominant force in the financing mix, consistently staying above 73% of total liabilities and equity. While the total liability percentage decreased in the final two years, the internal composition shifted as the reliance on long-term debt decreased and the proportion of deferred tax liabilities grew.
