Balance Sheet: Assets
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Total assets exhibit a sustained upward trajectory, growing from approximately 7.26 billion US dollars in March 2019 to 11.44 billion US dollars by September 2024. This expansion is primarily driven by substantial increases in non-current assets, particularly property, plant, and equipment, alongside a strategic shift in the composition of current assets.
- Liquidity and Cash Position
- Cash and cash equivalents have experienced volatility but generally trended higher, peaking at 1.95 billion US dollars in December 2023 before settling at 1.01 billion US dollars in September 2024. Conversely, marketable securities have seen a long-term decline, falling from 1.10 billion US dollars in early 2019 to 264.69 million US dollars by the end of the period. This suggests a transition in liquidity management, moving away from investment securities toward more immediate cash holdings and operational assets.
- Operational Asset Growth
- There is a clear acceleration in operational scale. Inventories increased significantly from 459.47 million US dollars in March 2019 to 1.25 billion US dollars in September 2024. Similarly, net trade accounts receivable grew from 301.67 million US dollars to 762.14 million US dollars over the same period. These trends indicate a substantial increase in production volume and sales activity.
- Capital Investment and Infrastructure
- Property, plant, and equipment, net, represent the most significant area of growth, rising steadily from 1.86 billion US dollars in March 2019 to 5.33 billion US dollars in September 2024. This consistent capital expenditure underscores a long-term strategy of expanding manufacturing capacity and infrastructure.
- Regulatory and Government Incentives
- A notable shift occurred starting in March 2023 with the emergence of government grants receivable. This item grew from 70.11 million US dollars in March 2023 to 871.75 million US dollars by September 2024. This rapid increase indicates a significant reliance on or benefit from government incentive programs, which have become a meaningful component of the total asset base.
- Other Non-Current Trends
- Deferred tax assets have shown a general increase, rising from 78.28 million US dollars in March 2019 to 237.87 million US dollars in September 2024. Other assets saw a period of decline between 2019 and 2022, dropping from peaks above 1.2 billion US dollars to 356.19 million US dollars, before beginning a gradual recovery to 615.77 million US dollars by late 2024.
