- Current portion of debt
- This item showed notable variability with small values during much of 2020, followed by sharp spikes in 2021 and early 2022. Through 2023 and 2024, the current portion mostly decreased with occasional peaks, and smaller amounts resumed late in the series.
- Current portion of environmental and asset retirement obligations

- Dividends payable appeared starting in early 2021, maintaining a consistent value with minor fluctuations, indicating steady dividend payment commitments.
