The overall balance sheet reflects a significant expansion in total assets and liabilities, with total liabilities and equity growing from 345,573 million USD in March 2021 to 410,186 million USD by June 2026. This growth is characterized by a simultaneous increase in both total liabilities and total equity, although the rate of equity accumulation has contributed to a gradual improvement in the overall capitalization structure.

Liability Trends and Debt Profile
Total liabilities exhibit a general upward trajectory, rising from 272,890 million USD to 304,990 million USD over the analyzed period. A notable shift is observed in the debt maturity profile; debt maturing within one year remained relatively stable between 7,000 and 15,000 million USD until June 2024, after which it surged, peaking at 28,229 million USD in March 2026. This indicates a concentration of short-term repayment obligations in the later periods.
Long-term debt, excluding current portions, showed a declining trend from a peak of 149,700 million USD in March 2021 to a low of approximately 121,000 million USD in early 2024, before rebounding to 143,448 million USD by June 2026. Additionally, deferred income taxes showed a consistent and steady increase, growing from 36,747 million USD to 50,234 million USD, adding to the long-term liability burden.
Equity and Shareholder Value
Total equity demonstrated consistent growth, increasing from 72,683 million USD in March 2021 to 105,196 million USD by June 2026. This expansion was primarily driven by a strong increase in retained earnings, which climbed from 63,107 million USD to 97,728 million USD, reflecting sustained profitability and the retention of earnings over time.
Treasury stock activity indicates periodic share repurchases. After a period of relative stability, there was a sharp increase in the cost of treasury stock in early 2026, moving from 3,255 million USD in September 2025 to 6,312 million USD by June 2026, suggesting an aggressive share buyback program during that window.
Solvency and Capital Structure Observations
The relationship between total liabilities and total equity suggests an improving solvency profile. While total liabilities increased, the growth in equity from 72,683 million USD to 105,196 million USD indicates that the company has increased its equity cushion relative to its total obligations.
Current liabilities experienced a marked increase, rising from 38,730 million USD to 62,211 million USD. This trend is largely attributed to the spike in short-term debt maturities and fluctuations in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which peaked at 26,140 million USD in September 2023.
