The balance sheet exhibits a period of structural transition between 2018 and 2022, characterized by a shift in the composition of liabilities and a gradual decline in total shareholders' equity. While the total balance sheet size remained relatively stable after a peak in 2019, the internal allocation of obligations has migrated from long-term to short-term instruments.

Current Liabilities Analysis: Current liabilities demonstrated an overall upward trajectory, rising from 4.32 billion US$ in 2018 to 5.69 billion US$ in 2022. This growth is primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable, which grew from 1.71 billion US$ to 2.09 billion US$ over the five-year period. A significant spike in short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt occurred in 2022, reaching 1.05 billion US$, a substantial increase from 350.4 million US$ in 2021.
Noncurrent Liabilities Trends: Noncurrent liabilities peaked in 2019 at 8.32 billion US$ and have since undergone a steady contraction, ending at 6.29 billion US$ in 2022. This reduction is largely attributable to the decrease in long-term debt, excluding current maturities, which fell from 4.92 billion US$ in 2019 to 3.79 billion US$ in 2022. Additionally, postemployment and other benefit liabilities saw a marked decline, dropping from 1.19 billion US$ in 2018 to 667 million US$ in 2022.
Equity and Solvency Observations: Total equity has experienced a consistent decline since 2019, falling from a high of 7.31 billion US$ to 6.11 billion US$ in 2022. This erosion is mainly reflected in retained earnings, which decreased from 9.73 billion US$ in 2019 to 8.32 billion US$ in 2022. The proportion of total liabilities relative to total equity has increased, indicating a rise in financial leverage over the analyzed period.
Capital Structure Shift: A notable realignment in the liability profile is observed, where the ratio of current liabilities to total liabilities increased from approximately 39.7% in 2018 to 47.5% in 2022. This suggests a movement toward a shorter-term debt profile and a higher reliance on operational credit and short-term financing compared to long-term debt obligations.
