- The proportion of short-term borrowings relative to total liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interest, and equity remains low and fluctuates moderately. It starts at 0.15% in 2020, dips to 0.08% in 2021, peaks at 0.39% in 2022, then decreases slightly to 0.11% by 2024.
- Accounts payable
- Accounts payable show a consistent upward trend over the five-year period, increasing from 5.33% in 2020 to 7.92% in 2024. This steady increase suggests growing obligations to suppliers or vendors relative to the company’s capital structure.
- Accrued employee compensation
- This liability slightly declines from 1.85% in 2020 to a low of 1.51% in 2022, before rising marginally to 1.61% in 2024, indicating a relatively stable compensation accrual pattern within total capital.
- Other accrued liabilities
- Other accrued liabilities exhibit a notable increase from 6.49% in 2020 to a peak of 9.22% in 2023, before slightly decreasing to 9.11% in 2024. This upward movement reflects a growth in miscellaneous accrued obligations over time.
- Contract liabilities
- Contract liabilities steadily rise throughout the period, from 7.95% in 2020 to 11.43% in 2024, pointing to an increasing amount of deferred revenue or obligations from customer contracts.
- Long-term debt currently due
- This item remains relatively low but shows an increasing trend from 0.01% in 2021 to 1.44% in 2024, indicating a growing short-term portion of long-term debt obligations becoming payable.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities consistently increase from 22.11% in 2020 to 31.62% in 2024, signifying a rising share of short-term obligations within the company’s total liabilities and equity.

- Long-term debt remains significant, fluctuating modestly around 19% in early years, then rising sharply to 26.17% in 2023 before declining to 23.78% in 2024. This reflects some restructuring or repayment activity in long-term debt.

- Other long-term liabilities
- Other long-term liabilities decline steadily from 5.88% in 2020 to 4.26% in 2024, suggesting a decrease in miscellaneous long-term obligations.
- Long-term liabilities
- Long-term liabilities show some volatility but generally decrease from 32.33% in 2020 to 30.34% in 2024, with a peak in 2023. This indicates relative stability with a slight downward tendency in the long-term portion of liabilities.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities increase notably from 54.44% in 2020 to approximately 62% in 2023 and 2024, underscoring a growing reliance on liabilities within the capital structure.
- Redeemable noncontrolling interest
- This item remains negligible and stable at 0.02% throughout all periods, indicating an immaterial level of redeemable noncontrolling interests.
- Common stock

- Treasury stock
- Treasury stock shows a consistent increase in magnitude as a negative component of equity, moving from -6.42% in 2020 to -16.65% in 2024. This suggests the company has been actively repurchasing shares or holding more treasury stock over time.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings increase steadily from 30.48% in 2020 to 32.9% in 2024, indicating cumulative profitability contributing to equity growth.
- Unearned ESOP shares

- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- This item fluctuates, initially improving from -2.3% in 2020 to around -1.19% in 2021, then showing a deterioration to -2.31% in 2024, indicating increased unrealized losses or other comprehensive income losses.
- Shareowners’ equity
