The asset composition of the balance sheet reveals a gradual shift toward higher liquidity and a changing profile of long-term intangible holdings between March 2017 and September 2022. While long-term assets historically dominated the structure, there is a notable increase in the relative weight of current assets toward the end of the observed period.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Current assets fluctuate between approximately 28% and 39% of total assets. A significant increase is observed by September 2022, where current assets reached 39.29%. This growth is primarily driven by cash and cash equivalents, which exhibit high volatility, peaking at 15.75% in March 2018 and ending the period at a high of 14.79%. Conversely, current marketable securities showed a general decline from an initial 9.23% in March 2017 to 4.97% by September 2022. Accounts receivable remained relatively stable, generally oscillating between 6% and 8% of total assets, while inventory showed a gradual increase from 4.35% to 5.53% over the period.
Long-Term Asset Composition
Long-term assets represented the majority of the balance sheet, although their share declined from 67.64% in March 2017 to 60.71% by September 2022. The most significant internal shift within this category is the inverse relationship between net intangible assets and goodwill. Net intangible assets experienced a consistent downward trend, falling from 19.36% to 8.08%, likely reflecting ongoing amortization. In contrast, goodwill increased steadily from 17.04% to 23.10%, suggesting that acquisitions have become a larger component of the total asset base relative to other assets.
Fixed Assets and Other Long-Term Items
Property, plant, and equipment, net, remained remarkably stable, typically ranging between 12% and 14% of total assets throughout the five-year period. Deferred tax assets showed significant fluctuation, peaking at 11.95% in September 2019 before declining to 4.73% by September 2022. Investments and other assets also displayed variability, ending the period at 6.49%, after a peak of 11.78% in December 2020.

Overall, the financial structure indicates a transition toward a more liquid position and a heavier reliance on goodwill as a primary long-term asset, while the relative impact of amortizable intangible assets has diminished.
