Balances at each fiscal year end (quarter end in the quarterly view). Total debt is short- plus long-term borrowings, including lease debt where the company reports it within debt. Where assets do not equal liabilities plus shareholders' equity, the difference (non-controlling interests, redeemable preferred shares) is shown on its own line.
