Current liabilities
What a company owes that falls due within a year.
Current liabilities cover trade payables, short-term borrowing, tax and contribution liabilities and amounts owed to employees. It is the part of the debt that arrives first.
Set against current assets it shows whether a company has the means to meet what is due. Where current liabilities persistently exceed current assets, the company is relying on new money arriving before the old bills land.
Where this figure comes from
APR's open data does not publish the split of liabilities by maturity, so profiles here show this line as “—”. Liabilities themselves we calculate as total assets less equity.
