- Cash and cash equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets demonstrated moderate fluctuations, generally ranging between 13.55% and 23.07%. A noticeable increase occurred starting in 2020, peaking at 23.07% in June 2020, followed by some volatility yet maintaining higher levels compared to earlier periods. This suggests an emphasis on maintaining liquidity, particularly during the 2020 period.
- Restricted cash and cash equivalents
- This category exhibited a consistent upward trend over the analyzed timeframe. Beginning at 0.19% in March 2017, it grew steadily to reach 10.51% by March 2022. Such an increase indicates growing amounts of cash held under specific conditions or obligations.
- Short-term investments
- Short-term investments showed notable volatility. Initially above 4%, the percentage dropped sharply around late 2017 and 2018, falling below 1% in several consecutive quarters in 2020 and 2021, with some recovery in March 2022 to 0.93%. The trend implies a reduction in investments easily convertible to cash during those years.
- Accounts receivable, net of allowance
- Accounts receivable generally increased until the end of 2019, peaking near 13.03%. However, from March 2020, a sharp decline was observed to around 3.75-4.57%, followed by gradual recovery but remaining below pre-2020 levels through March 2022. This may reflect decreased sales or collection challenges during the pandemic period.
- Income taxes receivable
- Variations in income taxes receivable were generally minor, fluctuating mostly between 0.1% and 1.8%. A moderate rise occurred toward mid and late 2021, suggesting temporal changes in tax positions or refunds.
- Prepaid expenses and other current assets
- This item rose significantly during 2020, peaking above 6% in March 2020, then gradually decreasing but remaining above earlier pre-2020 levels. This elevated level could signify increased advance payments or deferred costs during periods of operational uncertainty.
- Current assets
- Current assets as a percentage of total assets fluctuated between approximately 28% and 46%. There was a general trend toward higher current asset proportions starting from 2020 onward, coinciding with increases in cash, restricted cash, and prepaid expenses. This suggests a shift toward more liquid or short-term assets during the recent periods.
- Property and equipment, net
- The proportion of net property and equipment was relatively stable overall, mostly between 8% and 12%. A slight increase was noticeable during 2020, possibly reflecting ongoing capital expenditure or lower asset disposals during that time. However, a decline was seen toward early 2022.
- Operating lease right-of-use assets
- Introduced into the data starting in late 2018, these assets maintained a relatively small but stable share of total assets, ranging mostly between 1.6% and 3.1%. The steady proportions suggest consistent lease commitments.
- Long-term investments and other assets
- Long-term investments and other assets declined somewhat from around 4.5% in early periods to lower levels near 2.7% - 3.5% during 2019 and 2020, with an increase again in 2022 to nearly 6%. The dip and subsequent rise may indicate changes in investment strategy or asset reclassifications.
- Deferred income taxes
- This line item showed a clear upward trend, increasing from below 0.2% in early 2017 to about 3.5% from 2020 onwards, remaining relatively stable thereafter. This growth suggests accumulating deferred tax assets or liabilities impacting total assets.
- Intangible assets, net
- Intangible assets steadily declined in proportion to total assets, from roughly 13.5% in early 2017 to about 5.6% by March 2022. This downward trajectory might reflect amortization, impairments, or fewer new intangible asset acquisitions relative to growth in total assets.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill also decreased markedly as a share of total assets over the analyzed period, from over 45% in early 2017 to approximately 29% by March 2022. The decline implies asset write-downs, divestitures, or slower growth of goodwill relative to asset base expansion.
- Non-current assets
- Non-current assets experienced a general decline from around 70% in 2017 to just above 54% in early 2022, exhibiting fluctuations in line with the observed decreases in goodwill and intangible assets. The pattern shows a gradual shift in asset composition toward current assets over time.
- Total assets
- By definition, total assets remain stable at 100% across all periods and serve as the basis for proportional analysis of other asset accounts.
