The capital structure exhibits a consistent trend of deleveraging over the five-year period ending December 31, 2022. Total liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and stockholders' equity decreased from 81.23% in 2018 to 70.80% in 2022. This reduction is mirrored by a corresponding increase in the proportion of stockholders' equity, which grew from 18.77% to 29.20% over the same interval.

Debt and Long-Term Obligations
Long-term debt, excluding current maturities, represents the most significant component of the liability structure but has trended downward from 59.80% in 2018 to 46.35% in 2022. A more pronounced decline is observed in short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, which dropped from 4.98% in 2018 to a low of 0.67% by the end of 2022. Deferred taxes have shown a steady upward trajectory, increasing from 9.30% to 11.04%.
Current Liabilities and Operational Obligations
Total current liabilities remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 10.11% and 12.83%. Within this category, accounts payable increased from 2.96% in 2018 to 4.71% in 2022, suggesting a higher reliance on trade credit relative to the total balance sheet. Other accrued expenses and liabilities also showed a gradual increase, rising from 3.73% to 4.73%.
Stockholders' Equity Composition
The growth in total equity is primarily driven by a substantial increase in retained earnings, which rose from 22.62% in 2018 to 39.93% in 2022, indicating strong internal capital accumulation. This growth is partially offset by treasury stock at cost, which remained a significant negative component, ranging between -15.83% and -22.15%, reflecting ongoing share repurchase activity. Additional paid-in capital saw a moderate decline from 13.28% to 10.86%.

The overall shift in the common-size balance sheet indicates a strategic transition toward a more equity-funded capital structure, reducing the relative weight of long-term debt while leveraging retained earnings to strengthen the financial position.
