- Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
- There is a general upward trend from $2,465 million at the end of Q1 2020 to $4,288 million by Q2 2025, with some fluctuations. The balance notably increases in late 2021 and remains high through 2024 and 2025, indicating rising short-term obligations or supplier payables.
- Accrued income taxes
- The accrued income taxes show significant variability, peaking at $1,541 million in Q4 2021 and decreasing sharply to $389 million by Q2 2025. This pattern suggests fluctuating taxable income or tax payment timings.

- This liability fluctuates considerably, peaking at $1,365 million in Q1 2022, dropping sharply to under $50 million in some quarters of 2023, and then rising again to $495 million in Q2 2025. This volatility indicates varied short-term debt maturities or repayments.
