Over the five-year period Albertsons’ total assets moved from $26.6B in 2021 to a peak of $28.1B in 2022, fell to $26.2B in 2023, and then recovered modestly to $26.8B by 2025. Total liabilities show a steady downward trend from $25.3B in 2021 to $23.4B in 2024 and $23.4B in 2025, reducing the company’s absolute leverage. As a result the liabilities-to-assets ratio fell from roughly 95% in 2021 to about 87% in 2025, indicating an improving balance between claims and resources despite the mid-period asset dip. Stockholders’ equity was the most volatile item: equity rose sharply from $1.3B in 2021 to $3.0B in 2022, dropped to $1.6B in 2023, then recovered to $3.4B by 2025. That produces a meaningful improvement in the equity-to-assets ratio from ~5% (2021) to ~12.6% (2025), giving a larger capital buffer by the end of the period. The swings in equity likely reflect a mix of operating results, one‑time adjustments or capital transactions (issuances/repurchases, remeasurements), rather than a sustained change in business scale. In the context of low-margin, asset-heavy grocery retail, the recent trend toward lower liabilities and higher equity is credit-positive, improving solvency and flexibility even though the mid-period volatility warrants review of the underlying drivers.
