Medical costs payable
The medical costs payable exhibited an overall upward trend from March 2020 through June 2025. Starting at $22.8 billion in March 2020, the amount peaked around $38.4 billion by June 2025. Despite some quarterly fluctuations, the general pattern was one of consistent increase, with notable jumps between 2022 and 2023 and again from 2024 to 2025.
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities followed a similar increasing trajectory, beginning at $22.8 billion in March 2020 and rising to $34.3 billion by June 2025. The data showed steady growth, punctuated by minor short-term declines, especially around the year-end periods; however, the long-term trend was consistently upward.
Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt
Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt fluctuated significantly, ranging from lows under $4 billion to highs near $10 billion. There was a marked increase in borrowings in early 2021 and again in early 2024, followed by partial reductions in subsequent quarters. This indicates intermittent increases in short-term financing requirements.
Unearned revenues
Unearned revenues displayed considerable variability, with sharp spikes notably in September and December 2022, reaching as high as $15 billion, followed by steep declines in subsequent quarters. This suggests periodic large advances or prepayments fluctuating substantially within certain periods, before stabilizing back to ranges around $3 billion.
Other current liabilities
Other current liabilities generally increased across the timeframe, moving from approximately $14.7 billion in early 2020 to nearly $29.3 billion by mid-2025. Although there were occasional small decreases, the trend clearly depicts growing current liability obligations over the period.
Current liabilities
Current liabilities overall increased significantly from about $78.6 billion in March 2020 to a peak exceeding $116 billion in early 2023, then stabilized around $110 billion toward mid-2025. This reflects an expansion of short-term obligations during early 2023, followed by a moderation afterwards.
Long-term debt, less current maturities
Long-term debt also showed an increasing trend with fluctuations; starting near $35.8 billion in March 2020, rising to over $73 billion by mid-2025. While the debt levels decreased somewhat during 2021, they increased markedly afterward, reaching their maximum toward the latter part of the dataset.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred income taxes fluctuated between $1.7 billion and $4.2 billion, with no clear directional trend. The data shows cyclical movements, with peaks generally occurring around mid to late periods, but overall remaining within a bounded range throughout.
Other liabilities
Other liabilities gradually increased from approximately $10.0 billion at the start to about $15.9 billion near mid-2025. The trend was one of steady growth with small increases noted in almost every quarter, indicative of rising long-term operational or contingent liabilities.
Noncurrent liabilities
Noncurrent liabilities rose considerably, climbing from $48.9 billion in March 2020 to over $93.0 billion by mid-2025. This growth was steady, with occasional slight dips but mostly reflecting increasing long-term obligations over time.
Total liabilities
Total liabilities trended upward from about $127.5 billion in early 2020 to a peak near $204.6 billion by mid-2025. There was continuous growth interrupted briefly in 2023 and early 2024 but resumed thereafter, demonstrating an overall expansion in total obligations.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests
These interests remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations, typically oscillating between $1.3 billion and $4.9 billion. There was a noticeable increase in 2022 followed by a reduction and relative stabilization at lower levels thereafter.
Common stock
The value of common stock remained essentially constant at approximately $9 to $10 million across the entire period, indicating no major changes in issued share capital.
Additional paid-in capital
Data for additional paid-in capital was incomplete but showed some positive entries, suggesting gradual increases in equity capital, likely related to share issuances or other equity transactions toward the latter part of the dataset.
Retained earnings
Retained earnings consistently increased from about $62.3 billion in March 2020 to nearly $97.3 billion by June 2025. This steady growth reflects ongoing profitability and accumulation of earnings over time.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
The accumulated other comprehensive loss displayed a pattern of fluctuating negative values. The loss grew larger from 2020 through 2022, peaking near negative $9.1 billion, then partially recovered by mid-2025, reaching approximately negative $2.5 billion, indicating volatility in other comprehensive income components.
Shareholders’ equity attributable to the company
Shareholders’ equity attributable to the company rose from about $57.0 billion in early 2020 to just under $95.0 billion by mid-2025. The increase was generally consistent, punctuated by some periods of stabilization, demonstrating solid growth in net assets attributable to common shareholders.
Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests
Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests showed gradual growth from $2.9 billion in 2020 to approximately $5.7 billion in mid-2025, reflecting expanding interests held by minority shareholders in consolidated entities.
Total equity
Total equity expanded steadily over the reported period from roughly $59.9 billion to over $100.8 billion. This growth underscores increasing net worth, driven by rising retained earnings and equity capital contributions.
Total liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interests, and equity
The combined total of liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interests, and equity steadily increased from $189.1 billion at the start of 2020 to nearly $309.0 billion by mid-2025, illustrating overall balance sheet growth in asset financing and shareholder capital.
