- Accounts payable
- The proportion of accounts payable to total liabilities and equity remained relatively stable from 2017 to 2019, fluctuating slightly around 0.21% to 0.26%. However, beginning in 2020, there was a noticeable upward trend, culminating in a peak of 0.4% by 2022, indicating increased short-term obligations to suppliers or creditors.
- Settlement payable
- This category experienced volatility, increasing significantly from 2.95% in 2017 to 5.5% in 2019, followed by a sharp decline in 2020 to 2.15%. The ratio increased again in subsequent years to reach 3.84% in 2022. This pattern may reflect changes in obligations related to transaction settlements or clearing activities.
- Customer collateral
- The percentage of customer collateral to total liabilities and equity showed a steady increase over the observed period, from 1.63% in 2017 to 2.74% in 2022. This gradual growth suggests an increase in collateral held, possibly reflecting growth in customer activity or risk management practices.
- Accrued compensation and benefits
- This ratio increased gradually, starting at 1.11% in 2017 and rising to 1.59% in 2022, indicating an increasing obligation related to employee compensation and benefits, which may correspond with workforce growth or enhanced benefit provisions.
- Client incentives
- There was a clear upward trend in client incentives, nearly doubling from 3.07% in 2017 to 7.13% in 2022. This suggests a strategic focus on customer rewards or promotional initiatives aimed at strengthening client engagement.
- Accrued liabilities
- This item rose considerably over the period, from 1.66% in 2017 to 4.36% in 2022, indicating an increase in accrued expenses or obligations yet to be paid, which may warrant closer management attention.
- Deferred purchase consideration
- Data is sparse for this item, recorded only in 2018 at 1.88%, with a previous value in 2017 of 1.92% and no subsequent data, indicating either a one-off agreement or discontinued reporting of this liability type.
- Current maturities of debt
- The figures varied over the years, starting at 2.57% in 2017, with missing values in 2018 and 2019, rising to 3.71% in 2020, dipping to 1.21% in 2021, and again increasing to 2.63% in 2022. This fluctuation may reflect changing debt repayment schedules.
- Accrued litigation
- This liability displayed variability but remained within a narrow range, starting at 1.44% in 2017, peaking at 2.07% in 2018, and fluctuating to 1.7% in 2022, suggesting persistent but manageable legal contingencies.
- Current liabilities

- This component remained relatively stable, hovering around the mid-20% range, with a slight dip to 23.05% in 2019 and a peak at 26.04% in 2020, then settling back near 23.63% in 2022, indicating consistent long-term financing levels.
- Deferred tax liabilities
- There was a general decline in deferred tax liabilities from 8.8% in 2017 to 6.24% in 2022, although intermediate fluctuations occurred, which may reflect changing tax positions or asset valuations.
- Other liabilities
- Other liabilities more than doubled from 1.94% in 2017 to a peak of 4.81% in 2020, then slightly decreased to 4.13% in 2022, indicating increasing miscellaneous obligations or provisions.
- Non-current liabilities
- The composition of non-current liabilities decreased modestly from 37.11% in 2017 to 34% in 2022, signifying a slight reduction in long-term obligations relative to total capital.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities as a percentage of total liabilities and equity displayed an increasing trend from 51.81% in 2017 to 58.39% in 2022, denoting a growing reliance on liabilities in the company's capital structure.
- Preferred stock
- The proportion of preferred stock steadily declined over the analyzed years, dropping from 8.13% in 2017 to 2.72% in 2022, reflecting possible buybacks, redemptions, or reduced issuance.
- Common stock and additional paid-in capital
- The proportion of common equity showed a slight downward trend from 24.86% in 2017 to 22.86% in 2022, after a low of 20.66% in 2020, indicating moderate fluctuations in equity financing.

- Investment securities
- The item showed minimal and inconsistent impact, hovering near zero and occasionally dipping into negative territory, indicating a negligible or fluctuating proportion within the capital structure.
- Defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans
- These obligations remained negative but small as a percentage of total capital, suggesting minor liabilities netted against equity or other adjustments.
- Derivative instruments
- The values fluctuated between positive and negative small percentages across the years, indicating variable but limited net exposure related to derivatives.
- Foreign currency translation adjustments
- This item showed variability, positive in most years except for a notable negative value in 2022 at -2.94%, indicating foreign exchange effects impacting comprehensive income.
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net
- Similarly, other comprehensive income fluctuated, peaking positively in 2017 and turning negative sharply in 2022 at -2.77%, likely driven by foreign currency translation losses or other comprehensive expense items.
- Equity
- The overall equity share of total capital decreased from 48.19% in 2017 to 41.61% in 2022, consistent with the increase in total liabilities, indicating a shift in the capital structure towards greater leverage or external financing.
- Total liabilities and equity
- By definition, this sum is 100% for all years, serving as the baseline for relative ratio analysis.
