Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2018-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2018-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2018-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2017-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2017-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2017-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2017-03-31).
- Accounts payable
- This item exhibits slight fluctuations throughout the observed periods, generally ranging between approximately 3.3% and 5.1% of total liabilities and equity. Starting around 3.49% in early 2017, it peaks near 5.08% in the last quarter of 2021, indicating a modest upward trend in the company's short-term obligations to suppliers.
- Accrued liabilities
- Accrued liabilities remain relatively stable, oscillating mostly between 4.2% and 5.4%. Notable minor peaks occur mid-2017 and again toward late 2020, with values typically centered around 4.5% to 5.1%, suggesting consistent periodic short-term liabilities accrued but not yet paid.
- Deferred revenues
- Deferred revenues maintain a narrow range around 1.8% to 2.4%. A subtle decline is visible moving from early 2017 toward mid-2020, followed by a slight recovery up to approximately 1.95% by the end of 2021. This indicates a stable recognition of revenues deferred across the periods.
- Current portion of long-term debt
- This metric shows considerable variability, with sharp peaks in several quarters such as 4.78% at the start of 2018 and a pronounced spike to nearly 12% in mid-2020. Other quarters reflect much lower values close to or below 1%. This volatility implies significant repayments or refinancing activities on the short-term portions of long-term debt in certain periods.
- Current liabilities
- Current liabilities experience fluctuations between roughly 10.95% and 21.7% of total liabilities and equity. Most notably, a substantial increase to over 21% occurs in mid-2020, suggesting a temporary accumulation or reclassification of short-term debts or obligations during this period. Outside this spike, the range remains more compressed around 11% to 15%.
- Long-term debt, less current portion
- This item generally comprises a significant proportion of total liabilities and equity, fluctuating mostly between approximately 36% and 49%. A peak approaching 48-49% occurs mid-2019, followed by a notable drop to around 36% in mid-2020, then a recovery back to the low-to-mid 40% range by end of 2021. This suggests changes in the composition and scale of debt financing over time, possibly reflecting debt repayments and new borrowing.
- Deferred income taxes
- Deferred income taxes as a percentage show a declining trajectory from about 7.4% early in 2017 to roughly 5.8% by late 2021. Small variations appear within this downward trend, with minor rises in 2020 and 2021, indicating moderate shifts in tax-related liabilities.
- Landfill and environmental remediation liabilities
- These liabilities remain fairly stable, mostly around 7.0% to 8.2%. There is a slight downward trend through 2019 with a modest rebound in the following years. The consistent values reflect ongoing obligations related to environmental responsibilities.
- Other liabilities
- Other liabilities range broadly from about 2.4% to 4.2%, with minor fluctuations. Spikes are noticed around mid-2020 and again alternating moderately through 2021, possibly reflecting miscellaneous or less predictable liabilities.
- Long-term liabilities
- Long-term liabilities constitute the majority of total liabilities, with figures generally between 52% and 64%. A noticeable dip to approximately 52% happens mid-2020, followed by a gradual rise toward 61% by late 2021, consistent with changes observed in long-term debt balances and liability restructuring.
- Total liabilities
- Total liabilities remain consistently high, forming between about 71% and 75% of total liabilities and equity across all periods. The company demonstrates a stable capital structure heavily weighted toward liabilities, with minor increases in certain quarters reflecting variations in both current and long-term liabilities.
- Common stock, $0.01 par value
- This category is negligible, maintaining around 0.02% to 0.03%, indicating little change in outstanding common stock relative to total capital.
- Additional paid-in capital
- Additional paid-in capital shows a gradual decline over time, starting near 23.7% in early 2017 and decreasing to roughly 17.7% by the end of 2021. Mid-2020 sees a brief rise to over 20% before the downward trend continues, suggesting share-related capital movements or equity financing events influencing this component.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings generally trend upwards, moving from approximately 36% to above 41% by late 2021. Some declines are observed mid-2019 and early 2021 periods, but the overall pattern indicates consistent reinvestment of earnings and accumulated profitability.
- Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
- This item fluctuates near zero, alternating modestly between small negative and positive values without a clear directional trend. Such volatility reflects periodic unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translations or other comprehensive income elements.
- Treasury stock at cost
- Treasury stock as a percent of total liabilities and equity consistently presents significant negative values, varying somewhat between -30% and -37%. This indicates a considerable amount of treasury stock held, with fluctuations evidencing buyback or reissuance activities.
- Total Waste Management, Inc. stockholders’ equity
- Stockholders’ equity, net of treasury stock, holds steady mostly between approximately 25% and 29%, with a peak in mid-2020 followed by a normalization around 25% to 26%. This stability reflects the balance between equity financing and treasury stock transactions.
- Noncontrolling interests
- Noncontrolling interests consistently represent a minimal share, near 0.01%, with no notable changes in the course of the periods analyzed.
- Total equity
- Total equity ranges between roughly 24.5% and 28.9%, mirroring the fluctuations in stockholders’ equity discussed above. The slight peak in mid-2020 suggests a temporary enhancement in equity possibly related to retained earnings or issuance activities during that interval.
- Total liabilities and equity
- This summation consistently equals 100%, confirming the completeness and balance of the capital structure data throughout all periods.
