Current Liabilities: Current liabilities show a generally fluctuating trend from 2011 to 2016, with values oscillating between approximately 1700 million and 4600 million USD. Notably, there is a sharp increase in March 2016, reaching a peak of 4648 million USD, indicating a significant rise in short-term obligations during this period.
Accounts Payable and Other Current Liabilities: These liabilities exhibit moderate volatility but generally remain within a range of roughly 1400 to 2100 million USD. A sporadic increase is observed toward the end of 2015 and early 2016, consistent with the overall rise in current liabilities.
Income Taxes Payable: Income taxes payable fluctuate without a clear upward or downward trend, with peaks and troughs occurring intermittently. Values range from as low as 57 million USD to as high as 196 million USD, suggesting variable tax obligations over the periods analyzed.
Short-term Borrowings: Short-term borrowings display significant fluctuation, beginning at 670 million USD in early 2011, dropping sharply in mid-2011, and then experiencing notable spikes in late 2015 and early 2016, peaking at 2321 million USD in March 2016. This pattern indicates variability in short-term funding activities, with increased reliance on borrowings toward the end of the time frame.
Advertising Cooperative Liabilities: This liability category remains relatively stable and modest, generally staying between 57 million and 140 million USD. There is no distinct trend, but values slightly decline around mid-2014 before recovering somewhat in later periods.
Long-term Debt: Long-term debt remains relatively steady from 2011 through mid-2015, fluctuating around the 2900-3300 million USD range. However, a substantial increase is observed beginning in mid-2016, with debt rising sharply to over 9100 million USD by September 2016, indicating a significant increase in long-term financing or refinancing activities during that year.
Other Liabilities and Deferred Credits: This category shows a steady decline from 2011 through 2016, dropping from about 1360 million USD to under 850 million USD. The consistent decrease suggests a reduction in miscellaneous or deferred obligations over time.
Noncurrent Liabilities: Noncurrent liabilities generally decline from around 4600 million USD in early 2011 to a low near 3350 million USD in early 2016, before rising sharply to almost 10,000 million USD by late 2016. This pattern parallels the changes observed in long-term debt, highlighting increased long-term obligations toward the end of the period.
Total Liabilities: Total liabilities remain relatively stable around 6400 to 7100 million USD for most of the period but surge considerably in 2016, reaching over 12,200 million USD in September 2016. This surge corresponds with the increase in both short-term and long-term debt.
Common Stock, No Par Value: Common stock values are sparse and irregularly reported but appear generally low and stable when data is present, with minor fluctuations between 2 million and 18 million USD.
Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit): Retained earnings demonstrate a downward trend, starting around 1960 million USD in 2011 and declining significantly to a deficit of approximately -1570 million USD by late 2016. This persistent decline suggests the company faced accumulated losses or significant distributions exceeding net income in recent periods.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss): The comprehensive income (loss) figures are negative for most periods, with oscillations between approximately -320 million USD and positive minor values. The general trend is negative, indicating periodic unrealized losses or adverse market adjustments reflected in equity.
Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit): Shareholders’ equity shows a downward trajectory, decreasing from around 1780 million USD in early 2011 to a deficit of nearly -1890 million USD by late 2016. This decline mirrors the trend in retained earnings, indicating a weakening equity base that may reflect net losses or distributions surpassing earnings.
Noncontrolling Interests: Noncontrolling interests remain relatively stable, fluctuating modestly between 54 million and 137 million USD throughout the periods, indicating consistent minority ownership stakes without major changes.
Total Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit): The total shareholders’ equity including noncontrolling interests follows the same declining trend as shareholders’ equity alone, moving from approximately 1860 million USD in 2011 to a deficit of around -1830 million USD in 2016. The deterioration in total equity underscores increasing financial challenges.
Total Liabilities, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest, and Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit): The sum of total liabilities, redeemable noncontrolling interest, and shareholders’ equity ranges mostly between 8200 and 9300 million USD but jumps significantly to over 10,400 million USD in the final period. The increase towards the end primarily reflects growth in liabilities, particularly long-term debt.
