Balance Sheet: Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Quarterly Data

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.

The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals several key trends in the company's liabilities, equity, and related components over the examined periods.

Accounts Payable: Accounts payable exhibited fluctuations with periods of both increases and decreases. Notably, there was a substantial peak in early 2024 around February to November, with values reaching above 1900 million US dollars before dropping again in the last quarter observed.
Employee Compensation and Benefits: This item showed a general upward trajectory across the quarters, starting from lower values near 463 million US dollars and peaking beyond 1900 million US dollars in early 2025. Although some quarters displayed moderate declines, the long-term trend suggests increasing personnel-related expenses.
Short-term Debt: Short-term debt showed considerable volatility. After an initial high around 3537 million US dollars, it decreased significantly mid-period, reaching lows near 278 million US dollars in mid-2021. However, it rose sharply again by 2024 and early 2025, peaking over 5500 million US dollars in mid-2025. This suggests periods of substantial short-term borrowing increases.
Other Current Liabilities: Other current liabilities exhibited significant variation with impressive spikes starting in early 2024, surging from figures below 5000 million US dollars to over 15,000 million US dollars, and then gradually declining. This indicates substantial changes in short-term obligations not classified elsewhere.
Current Liabilities: Current liabilities followed a broadly stable pattern with alternating rises and falls. A marked surge occurred in early 2024, mirroring the spikes in other current liabilities and short-term debt, leading to totals exceeding 20,000 million US dollars before a slight decrease in subsequent quarters.
Long-term Debt: Long-term debt fluctuated substantially, showing an initial decline from over 34,000 million US dollars, followed by abrupt increases to over 42,000 million US dollars in early 2020. The values generally remained elevated but started decreasing gradually after 2021, reaching nearer to 61,000 million US dollars by mid-2025.
Other Long-term Liabilities: There was a consistent downward trend in other long-term liabilities, dropping from over 6,400 million US dollars in early periods to below 13,000 million US dollars when aggregating the last four quarters. The decline suggests reduction or reclassification of certain long-term obligations.
Long-term Liabilities: The composition of long-term liabilities followed the movements of long-term debt and other long-term liabilities, with a peak in early 2020 near 48,000 million US dollars and a gradual decline through 2024 and 2025, indicating overall debt reduction or debt structure changes.
Total Liabilities: Total liabilities showed a notable rise in early 2020 and a sharp increase in early 2024, reaching over 107,000 million US dollars before trending downward to approximately 95,000 million US dollars in mid-2025, reflecting changes in both current and long-term liabilities.
Preferred Stock Dividend Obligation and Common Stock: Preferred stock dividend obligations appeared only in a few quarters with marginal values around 27 to 29 million US dollars, and no preferred stock was outstanding. The common stock par value remained constant and minimal, indicating no significant changes in share capitalization.
Additional Paid-in Capital: This item fluctuated moderately, decreasing from over 23,000 million US dollars early on to roughly 21,000 million in mid-2022, then stabilizing with significant increases in 2024, reaching approximately 70,000 million US dollars, reflecting equity financing activities.
Retained Earnings (Accumulated Deficit): Retained earnings showed irregular data with gaps. In periods with values, there is an overall positive balance with increases notably observed in early 2023 and 2024. The presence of negative values in some quarters suggests occasional losses or adjustments.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss): This item remained slightly negative to neutral, with values ranging between -180 million to +208 million US dollars. Small positive shifts were noticed in recent quarters, indicating slight improvements in comprehensive income components.
Stockholders’ Equity: Stockholders’ equity experienced fluctuations but generally saw growth, rising from around 23,000 million US dollars early on to almost 70,000 million by early 2024. Minor decreases followed but equity levels remained strong through mid-2025.
Total Liabilities and Equity: The total of liabilities and equity increased substantially, particularly from 2019 through early 2024, reaching nearly 178,000 million US dollars before a modest decline to approximately 165,000 million in mid-2025. This indicates overall growth in the company’s balance sheet size with some period adjustments.
