Liquidity and Short-term Obligations
The company's notes payable and current portion of long-term debt display significant volatility, initially decreasing from 3,234 million USD to under 30 million USD by mid-2020, then fluctuating sharply with a peak of 2,547 million USD recorded in late 2023. Trade accounts payable exhibited a generally stable but slightly declining trend from approximately 2,700 million USD in 2021 to about 1,700 million USD towards mid-2025. Accrued expenses and other liabilities followed a decreasing trend after peaking above 5,500 million USD at the end of 2020, settling near 4,600 million USD by mid-2025. Overall current liabilities show a variable pattern, peaking at about 9,300 million USD in early 2024 and subsequently declining to approximately 6,300 million USD towards mid-2025.
Long-term Liabilities and Debt
Other long-term liabilities decreased steadily from around 7,900 million USD in early 2021 to approximately 5,660 million USD by mid-2025. Long-term debt excluding the current portion exhibited a gradual decline overall, from a peak above 23,500 million USD in late 2021 to roughly 16,800 million USD in mid-2025. Total long-term liabilities mirrored this downward trend, dropping from nearly 32,000 million USD in late 2021 to around 22,500 million USD by mid-2025. Consequently, total liabilities decreased steadily over the latter periods, reducing from roughly 38,000 million USD in 2020 to approximately 28,800 million USD by mid-2025.
Equity Structure and Components
Preferred stock experienced fluctuations with a drop from 3,268 million USD in late 2021 to 1,668 million USD by the end of 2022, and no further values recorded subsequently. Common stock remained stable at approximately 9 million USD throughout the period. Additional paid-in capital generally increased steadily, with a notable rise to over 17,000 million USD by mid-2025, despite a temporary dip around early 2024. Treasury stock data became available from early 2024, showing a significant increase in stock repurchases reaching approximately 11,344 million USD by late 2025. Retained earnings consistently increased over the period, indicating sustained profitability, growing from around 24,600 million USD in early 2020 to about 45,920 million USD by late 2025. Accumulated other comprehensive losses were highly variable, fluctuating with negative values mostly between -3,900 million USD and -500 million USD, reflecting diverse factors affecting comprehensive income. Total stockholders’ equity showed overall growth from approximately 31,000 million USD in early 2020 to peak near 53,400 million USD in late 2023, followed by some volatility and a slight decline towards around 51,000 million USD by mid-2025.
Overall Financial Position
The company's total liabilities and stockholders’ equity increased from roughly 68,900 million USD in early 2020 to a high near 87,700 million USD in late 2023, followed by a decline to about 79,900 million USD at mid-2025. This suggests a period of expansion followed by stabilization or contraction in total financing sources. The reduction in long-term debt and liabilities combined with rising retained earnings and increased equity components characterize a gradual improvement in the capital structure and potentially a stronger financial position. However, the rapid fluctuations in short-term debt and the increased treasury stock holdings in recent periods merit attention for cash management and capital allocation strategies.
