Total liabilities decreased consistently from a high of 61,739 million USD in 2020 to 51,321 million USD in 2022, followed by a modest recovery to 53,327 million USD by 2024. This reflects a general reduction in liabilities, primarily driven by decreases in both current and non-current obligations, despite some fluctuations within individual categories.

The accumulated other comprehensive loss improved from -7,113 million USD in 2020 to -1,549 million USD in 2022, signaling a reduction in losses, but then worsened again to -4,309 million USD by 2024. Deferred compensation obligations and treasury stock steadily declined, reflecting reductions in related long-term obligations and stock adjustments respectively. Equity for controlling interests increased significantly from 657 million USD in 2020 to 19,786 million USD in 2022 before decreasing to 16,718 million USD in 2024, consistent with retained earnings trends. Noncontrolling interests remained small and fluctuated modestly.

Total Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity
The aggregate of total liabilities and shareholders' equity increased from 62,408 million USD in 2020 to a peak of 71,124 million USD in 2022, then slightly decreased to 70,070 million USD by 2024. This overall expansion is primarily attributable to the significant increase in equity, particularly retained earnings, despite a reduction in total liabilities.
