Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). 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.

Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-01-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-01-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-01-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-01-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-01-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-01-31).
The financial data over the six-year period demonstrates several notable trends in liabilities, stockholders' equity, and overall financial position.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities have shown a steady increase from US$14,845 million in 2020 to US$27,980 million in 2025. Notably, finance lease liabilities, current, experienced a marked rise peaking in 2024 at US$372 million before slightly declining to US$337 million in 2025. Accrued expenses and other liabilities generally increased, with a small dip in 2024 but rebounding in 2025. Operating lease liabilities, current, showed a downward trend over the period, decreasing from US$750 million in 2020 to US$579 million in 2025. Unearned revenue consistently increased year-over-year from US$10,662 million in 2020 to US$20,743 million in 2025, indicating an expanding service revenue base or advance receipts.
- Debt Components
- Current debt was minimal until a sharp spike to US$1,182 million in 2023 followed by a slight decrease to US$999 million in 2024, with no data in 2025. Noncurrent debt excluding the current portion rose dramatically from US$2,673 million in 2020 to US$10,592 million in 2022, then decreased to stabilize around US$8,427-8,433 million in subsequent years. This reflects significant borrowing activities and subsequent repayments or refinancing.
- Noncurrent Liabilities
- Noncurrent liabilities increased substantially from US$6,396 million in 2020 to a peak of US$15,290 million in 2022, then showed a decline and stabilization around US$13,775 million by 2025. Noncurrent operating lease liabilities remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations, trending downward from US$2,445 million in 2020 to US$2,380 million in 2025. Noncurrent finance lease liabilities displayed volatility, reaching a high in 2024 before falling in 2025. Other noncurrent liabilities consistently increased, reaching US$2,621 million in 2025.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities increased from US$21,241 million in 2020 to US$41,755 million in 2025, with notable peaks in 2023 and fluctuations mainly driven by debt and lease liabilities. After a significant jump between 2021 and 2022, they stabilized somewhat but maintained an upward trajectory overall.
- Stockholders’ Equity and Related Items
- Stockholders’ equity increased from US$33,885 million in 2020 to US$61,173 million in 2025, demonstrating steady growth in shareholder value. This was supported primarily by increases in additional paid-in capital—almost doubling from US$32,116 million in 2020 to US$64,576 million in 2025—and retained earnings, which grew substantially from US$1,861 million to US$16,369 million in the same period. Accumulated other comprehensive loss remained negative but relatively stable. Treasury stock values indicate increasing repurchases or retirements from 2022 onward, deepening from negative US$4,000 million to US$19,507 million in 2025, reflecting a strong share repurchase program.
- Total Financial Position
- The total liabilities and stockholders’ equity rose from US$55,126 million in 2020 to US$102,928 million in 2025, nearly doubling over six years. This growth reflects an expansion in both financing and equity components, consistent with business growth and capital structure adjustments.
Overall, the data portrays a company experiencing substantial scaling in liabilities, particularly debt and lease obligations, alongside a robust growth in equity supported by capital contributions and retained earnings. The trends suggest active capital management including share repurchases and strategic financing activities. The increase in unearned revenue and accrued expenses points to operational growth and an expanding customer base or transaction volume.
