Accounts Payable
Accounts payable showed fluctuations over the periods examined, generally trending upward with some intermittent declines. The amount increased notably from 997,700 thousand USD in March 2020 to reach approximately 1,777,700 thousand USD by March 2025, indicating a gradual buildup in short-term obligations to suppliers or creditors.
Accrued Liabilities
Accrued liabilities experienced substantial variability, peaking initially around December 2019 at 3,051,800 thousand USD before dropping sharply in the subsequent quarters of 2020. A recovery phase followed, and by March 2025, the figure stabilized around 2,036,700 thousand USD, suggesting operational cost accruals were managed more tightly post the early 2020 period.
Accrued Payroll and Benefits
This liability, available from mid-2019 data onwards, grew from 664,600 thousand USD and peaked at 833,100 thousand USD in June 2024, reflecting a consistent increase in payroll-related obligations. Such a trend might correspond with workforce expansions or increased compensation expenses.
Current Portion of Operating Lease Liability
The current portion of operating lease liabilities remained relatively stable across the periods, generally hovering between 1,200,000 and 1,470,000 thousand USD, indicating ongoing commitment to lease-related short-term payments without significant escalation or reduction.
Stored Value Card Liability and Current Portion of Deferred Revenue
This liability exhibited cyclical movements, with values rising sharply in some quarters, such as from 1,787,600 thousand USD in April 2023 to 2,253,300 thousand USD in December 2024. This variability likely reflects changes in customer prepaid balances and deferred revenues from promotional activities or gift card sales.
Short-term Debt
Short-term debt showed considerable changes, with an absence of values in some quarters, but notable increases around 2019 and 2020, reaching a peak of 497,900 thousand USD in December 2019. Subsequent periods post-2021 show reduced reliance on short-term borrowings, dropping to below 35,000 thousand USD in some quarters, suggesting improved liquidity or refinancing strategies.
Current Portion of Long-term Debt
This liability showed a substantial rise from April 2020 (1,249,400 thousand USD) through early 2022, reaching between approximately 1,998,600 to 1,999,300 thousand USD, then fluctuated before a significant increase to over 2,247,800 thousand USD by March 2025. The pattern indicates ongoing debt maturities requiring short-term settlement and possible refinancing activities.
Current Liabilities
Current liabilities rose sharply in late 2019, peaking at 8,675,500 thousand USD, then declined during the first half of 2020 to a low around 6,505,100 thousand USD, before rebounding and fluctuating near 9,700,000 thousand USD by the end of 2024 and early 2025. The movement reflects operational and financial adjustments in response to external conditions during this period.
Long-term Debt, Excluding Current Portion
Long-term debt demonstrated significant dynamics, rising from approximately 9,130,700 thousand USD at the end of 2018 to peak near 14,659,600 thousand USD in late 2020. It then decreased moderately towards early 2025, settling around 13,324,000 thousand USD, indicating debt restructuring or repayment activities over time.
Operating Lease Liability, Excluding Current Portion
This liability remained relatively stable at elevated levels, generally between 7,600,000 and 8,850,000 thousand USD, trending upward in the later periods. The sustained high level highlights ongoing long-term lease commitments without material reduction.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue gradually declined over the analyzed periods, starting near 6,823,700 thousand USD in late 2018 and falling steadily to approximately 5,871,300 thousand USD by March 2025. This trend suggests a reduction in advance payments from customers or changes in revenue recognition policies.
Other Long-term Liabilities
Other long-term liabilities showed a downward trajectory, declining from about 1,478,200 thousand USD to below 660,000 thousand USD, reflecting possible settlements or reclassifications of other obligations.
Total Long-term Liabilities
The aggregate long-term liabilities rose substantially, peaking near 30,399,700 thousand USD around early 2024, before declining slightly towards 28,819,200 thousand USD by March 2025, aligned mostly with changes in long-term debt and lease obligations.
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities increased markedly from 22,860,100 thousand USD at the end of 2018 to approach 39,357,700 thousand USD by late 2024, before stabilizing near 39,248,500 thousand USD in early 2025. The growth reflects expansion in both short- and long-term obligations over time.
Shareholders’ Equity - Common Stock and Paid-in Capital
Common stock par value remained steady around 1,100 to 1,200 thousand USD. Additional paid-in capital showed variability with notable increases in mid-2020 and early 2021, indicating capital injections or equity transactions, rising from approximately 41,100 thousand USD to nearly 470,900 thousand USD by March 2025.
Retained Deficit
The retained deficit fluctuated considerably, with a general trend of reduction in deficit magnitude during 2020-2021 but increasing again afterwards. By March 2025, the deficit stood near -7,565,500 thousand USD, reflecting persistent accumulated losses despite periods of improvements.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
This item oscillated over time, moving from -343,200 thousand USD to positive territory briefly in 2021, then declining again to approximately -529,000 thousand USD by early 2025, indicating volatility in non-operating gains and losses likely linked to foreign currency translation or hedging activities.
Total Shareholders’ Deficit
The total shareholders' deficit continuously fluctuated, showing sizable negative values which increased during periods of adverse financial performance. The deficit stood around -7,622,500 thousand USD by March 2025, reflecting ongoing challenges in achieving positive equity.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests remained relatively minor, ranging from a negative figure of -2,800 thousand USD in 2020 to a positive 7,200 thousand USD, indicating limited impact on overall equity from minority stakeholders.
Total Liabilities and Deficit
The combined figure reflected an increasing trend overall, rising from 19,981,300 thousand USD at the end of 2018 to peak near 31,839,100 thousand USD in late 2024 before slightly declining to 31,633,100 thousand USD by early 2025, consistent with the underlying liability and deficit trends.
