It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.

Liabilities represents obligations of a company arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of economic benefits from the entity.

Accounts payable: Accounts payable shows fluctuations over the periods, generally trending upwards from around 393 million in early 2018 to peaks above 720 million in late 2022, followed by declines to about 502 million by April 2024. This indicates variability in supplier liabilities but overall an increase in recent years before a subsequent decrease.
Accrued expenses: Accrued expenses increased steadily from just under 100 million in early 2018, reaching a high of nearly 320 million in early 2022. Thereafter, the figures declined significantly to approximately 154 million by April 2024, showing a substantial reduction in accrued liabilities recently.
Gift card and other deferred revenue: This item demonstrates a consistent upward trend across the years, moving from about 256 million in Q2 2018 to nearly 600 million by Q2 2024, indicating increased customer prepayments and deferred revenue recognition over time.
Income taxes payable: Income taxes payable exhibit volatility, with values ranging from roughly 9,903 to over 148,826 thousand USD. Notably, there was a spike towards early 2024, suggesting fluctuations in tax liabilities or timing differences in tax payments.
Current debt: Current debt appears in data intermittently around 300 million, notably in early 2020 and 2021, suggesting short-term borrowings during those periods, but lacking sustained presence in other quarters.
Borrowings under revolving line of credit: Borrowings under the revolving line of credit first appear at 60 million in mid-2018, increased to 100 million by late 2019, and surged substantially to nearly 488 million in mid-2020. Since then, no additional borrowings are recorded, indicating possible repayment or lack of new draws post-2020.
Current operating lease liabilities: Current operating lease liabilities remain relatively stable around 200 to 230 million throughout the observed periods, reflecting a consistent leasing commitment with minor fluctuations.
Other current liabilities: Other current liabilities generally rise from approximately 61 million in early 2018 to peaks over 108 million in early 2023, with some volatility and a downward trend toward April 2024 to about 90 million, signifying some variability and recent reductions.
Current liabilities: The total current liabilities show sustained growth from approximately 883 million in early 2018 to a high close to 1.85 billion in late 2022, followed by a decline to around 1.72 billion by April 2024. This pattern suggests increased short-term obligations with some moderation recently.
Long-term debt: Long-term debt remains remarkably stable near 299 million throughout the timeline whenever reported, indicating no significant changes or new issuances in long-term debt during these periods.
Long-term operating lease liabilities: Long-term operating lease liabilities fluctuate between approximately 990 million and 1.22 billion, with a general trend of increase, peaking around early 2023 and slightly declining thereafter, pointing to a sizable and relatively stable long-term lease commitment.
Other long-term liabilities: Other long-term liabilities dropped significantly from around 277 million in early 2018 to approximately 114 million by early 2019, then increased gradually to around 147 million by late 2021 before declining again to about 117 million by April 2024, indicating some restructuring or payment of long-term obligations over time.
Long-term liabilities: Long-term liabilities show a notable spike between mid-2019 and early 2020, surging from roughly 580 million to over 1.5 billion, then fluctuating around 1.2 to 1.3 billion afterward. This significant increase corresponds with operating lease liabilities growth and other long-term commitments.
Total liabilities: Total liabilities approximately doubled from about 1.46 billion in early 2018 to peaks exceeding 3.18 billion in late 2022, before easing to roughly 2.95 billion by early 2024. This trend reflects increased obligations, particularly driven by current and long-term liabilities, with some recent reductions.
Common stock: Common stock par value remained fairly constant, with a slight declining trend in total par value from 833 thousand in early 2018 to around 644 thousand by mid-2024, indicating minor share repurchases or retirements over the period.
Additional paid-in capital: Additional paid-in capital fluctuated modestly with values roughly between 521 million and 638 million, lacking a clear uptrend or downtrend but showing periodic decreases and recoveries, suggesting moderate equity activity without significant new capital infusions.
Retained earnings: Retained earnings generally increased strongly over the examined timeline, moving from approximately 639 million in early 2018 to about 1.7 billion by April 2024, indicating sustained profitability and accumulation of earnings.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss: This account reflected persistent losses, increasing in absolute value from about -6.7 million to nearly -18.9 million, showing growing accumulated other comprehensive deficits over the period.
Treasury stock, at cost: Treasury stock figures are consistently negative but low in magnitude, indicating limited treasury holdings with some increases in shares held during recent periods.
Stockholders’ equity: Stockholders’ equity rose from roughly 1.2 billion in early 2018 to over 2.2 billion by early 2024, demonstrating substantial growth in net assets likely driven by increased retained earnings and overall profitability.
Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity: The sum of total liabilities and stockholders’ equity increased significantly from approximately 2.66 billion in early 2018 to around 5.16 billion by early 2024. This expansion reflects overall company growth, with both liabilities and equity contributing to the rise in total capitalization.
