- Accounts Payable
- Accounts payable as a percentage of total liabilities and equity exhibited moderate fluctuations from 9.07% in March 2018, peaking near 11.62% in September 2022, before slightly decreasing to 10.97% by March 2023. The general trend indicates a gradual increase over the analyzed period.
- Accrued Compensation and Benefits
- This item showed variability with initial values around 1.98%-2.97% in 2018, rising to a peak of 3.02% in December 2021 and again reaching nearly 2.99% in December 2022, but declining sharply to 1.98% in March 2023. The pattern suggests intermittent increases with a recent drop at the end of the period.
- Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
- Accrued expenses and other current liabilities maintained a range between 8.17% and 12.1%, exhibiting volatility with an upward movement especially from 2021 onwards, surpassing 11% during 2022 and early 2023, indicating increasing short-term obligations.
- Short-term Borrowings and Current Maturities of Long-term Debt
- This category experienced notable fluctuations. It was relatively low around 1.9%-3.3% from 2018 to early 2019, then peaked to 5.39% in March 2020, decreased markedly thereafter but surged again in mid-2022 to nearly 5.9%, before declining sharply to 1.95% in the latest quarter. This indicates periods of increased short-term debt refinancing or liquidity needs.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities as a proportion of total liabilities and equity fluctuated notably, showing an increase from approximately 23.5% in early 2018 to a peak of about 31.84% in mid-2022, followed by a decline to 26.99% by March 2023. Overall, the current liabilities increased over the period, especially in 2022, indicating greater short-term obligations.
- Long-term Debt (Excluding Current Maturities)
- Long-term debt percentages rose from about 20% in early 2018 to peaks above 26% in 2019 and early 2020, then declined to roughly 20.95% in late 2022, but jumped back to 25.04% in March 2023. This pattern suggests fluctuations in long-term financing, with periods of increased borrowing and subsequent repayments or restructuring.
- Postemployment and Other Benefit Liabilities
- These liabilities demonstrated a steady decline over time, decreasing from nearly 6.9% in early 2018 to about 3.77% in March 2023, signaling reduced obligations or effective management of such liabilities.
- Deferred and Noncurrent Income Taxes
- This item remained relatively stable, fluctuating modestly between approximately 2.7% and 3.8% throughout the period, showing no significant trend either upward or downward.
- Other Noncurrent Liabilities
- Other noncurrent liabilities held relatively steady, mostly ranging between 5.8% and 7.3%, with no marked trend of increase or decrease over the quarters analyzed.
- Noncurrent Liabilities
- Noncurrent liabilities as a whole increased from about 37.6% in early 2018 to above 43% during 2020, then trended downward to near 34.8% in late 2022, followed by a recovery to 39.18% in March 2023. This indicates variability in long-term obligations, with cyclical peaks and troughs.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities grew from approximately 61.1% in early 2018 to a peak around 67.5% in mid-2022, before slightly decreasing to 66.17% in March 2023, reflecting an overall increase in leverage relative to total equity and liabilities.
- Ordinary Shares
- The proportion of ordinary shares remained stable, fluctuating slightly around 1.3%-1.5%, suggesting no major changes in share capital relative to total liabilities and equity.
- Ordinary Shares Held in Treasury
- This negative figure consistently represented about -8.3% to -9.75%, indicating a stable level of treasury stock held, which slightly increased in absolute terms over time, implying ongoing stock repurchases or treasury holdings.
- Capital in Excess of Par Value
- Data for this item showed inconsistency with several missing data points and small values mostly below 0.5%, indicating minimal impact or relatively stable levels over time.
- Retained Earnings
- Retained earnings decreased from about 52.7% in late 2018 to around 45.8% by March 2023, with fluctuations but an overall declining trend, potentially reflecting dividend distributions, share repurchases, or net losses over some periods.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
- This liability showed increasing severity until approximately 2022, widening from -3.4% to nearly -5.6% in late 2022, but improved moderately to -3.91% by March 2023, indicating volatility in other comprehensive income components such as foreign currency translation or pension adjustments.
- Total Shareholders’ Equity
- The total shareholders’ equity proportion fluctuated moderately, with a decline from 39.9% in late 2018 to about 32.4% in late 2022, followed by a slight recovery to 33.8% in early 2023, suggesting a general erosion in equity relative to liabilities with some recent stabilization.
