The composition of liabilities and shareholders’ equity exhibited several notable trends over the observed period from September 2019 to December 2025. Current liabilities consistently represented a significant portion of the total, generally fluctuating between 25% and 33%. Noncurrent liabilities also constituted a substantial component, typically ranging from 29% to 34%. Shareholders’ equity, while representing a considerable portion, demonstrated more variability, particularly due to the impact of treasury stock.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities generally increased from 26.52% in September 2019 to a peak of 32.92% in December 2022, before decreasing to 27.48% by June 2024 and stabilizing around 28% through December 2025. Within current liabilities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities remained relatively stable, each contributing approximately 9-12% and 8-9% respectively. Debt due within one year showed more fluctuation, peaking at 10.98% in September 2021 and declining to 5.88% by June 2024, before a slight increase to 6.46% by December 2025.
- Noncurrent Liabilities
- Noncurrent liabilities showed a moderate decline from 32.28% in September 2019 to 28.25% by September 2025. Long-term debt, excluding current portions, remained the largest component, consistently accounting for approximately 17% to 21% of the total. Deferred income taxes exhibited a slight upward trend, increasing from 5.55% to 5.32% initially, then peaking at 6.01% in September 2022, and decreasing to 4.69% by December 2025. Other noncurrent liabilities demonstrated a consistent decline, falling from 9.06% to 4.49% over the period.
- Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders’ equity experienced significant fluctuations, largely driven by changes in treasury stock. Treasury stock consistently represented a large negative percentage, increasing in magnitude from -89.88% in September 2019 to -112.27% in December 2024, before decreasing slightly to -111.54% by December 2025. Retained earnings consistently represented the largest positive component of shareholders’ equity, increasing from 84.72% to a peak of 105.26% in June 2024, and then decreasing to 103.62% by December 2025. Common stock and additional paid-in capital remained relatively stable, each contributing around 3-4% and 53-58% respectively. Accumulated other comprehensive loss remained consistently negative, fluctuating between -13.42% and -9.19%.
- Total Liabilities
- Total liabilities generally increased from 58.81% in September 2019 to a peak of 63.03% in September 2021, before decreasing to 57.91% by December 2025. This increase and subsequent decrease mirrored the trends observed in current and noncurrent liabilities. The proportion of total liabilities relative to shareholders’ equity remained relatively consistent, indicating a balanced approach to financing.
Overall, the liability structure remained relatively stable, with current and noncurrent liabilities consistently representing significant portions of the total. The most notable changes were observed within shareholders’ equity, primarily due to the substantial and increasing impact of treasury stock, offset by growth in retained earnings. These shifts suggest ongoing capital management activities, including share repurchases and profit retention.
