An analysis of the balance sheet reveals a strategic shift in the company's liability structure and a significant evolution in stockholders' equity over the observed period. While total liabilities remained relatively stable, there was a pronounced migration from non-current to current obligations.

Liability Composition and Debt Management
A consistent downward trend is observed in non-current liabilities, which decreased from 15,415 million USD in August 2020 to 10,998 million USD by May 2026. This decline is primarily driven by the reduction of long-term debt, excluding the current portion, which fell from 9,408 million USD to 5,942 million USD. Conversely, current liabilities exhibited an upward trajectory, rising from 8,619 million USD to 12,547 million USD over the same period. This suggests a shift toward shorter-term financing and an increase in operational obligations, specifically within accounts payable and the current portion of long-term debt, the latter of which reached 2,000 million USD by May 2026.
Operational Obligations and Accruals
Accounts payable demonstrated significant volatility, peaking at 3,772 million USD in August 2025 before settling at 3,600 million USD in May 2026. Accrued liabilities remained relatively range-bound, generally fluctuating between 4,993 million USD and 6,286 million USD, indicating a consistent level of short-term operational accruals. Income taxes payable showed a marked increase starting in late 2023, peaking at 767 million USD in November 2024, before declining toward the end of the period.
Stockholders' Equity Trends
Total shareholders' equity grew from 9,224 million USD in August 2020 to 14,865 million USD in May 2026. This growth was largely supported by a steady increase in capital in excess of stated value, which rose from 8,695 million USD to 15,158 million USD. However, this was offset by a stark reversal in retained earnings. After peaking at 3,886 million USD in August 2021, retained earnings entered a sustained decline, transitioning into a deficit that reached -727 million USD by May 2025, before recovering slightly to -155 million USD by May 2026.
Comprehensive Income and Overall Solvency
Accumulated other comprehensive income exhibited high volatility, shifting between negative and positive territory throughout the period, ending at -141 million USD in May 2026. Despite the deficit in retained earnings, the overall increase in paid-in capital has maintained the total equity position. The total liabilities and shareholders' equity figure fluctuated between a low of 33,258 million USD and a high of 41,088 million USD, concluding at 38,410 million USD.
