- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Over the observed periods, the proportion of cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets exhibited volatility, initially declining from 14.53% in 2020 to 9.52% in 2021, followed by a rise to 17.81% in 2023, before dropping again to 10.82% in 2024.
- Short-term Investments
- This category demonstrated a consistent downward trend, decreasing steadily from 31.24% in 2020 to 10.6% in 2024, indicating a significant reduction in short-term investment holdings relative to total assets.
- Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances
- The percentage of accounts receivable relative to total assets remained fairly stable around 5.7% in 2020 and 2021, increased notably to above 7% in 2022 and 2023, then slightly receded to 6.54% in 2024, suggesting some fluctuations in credit extended to customers or collection efficiency.
- Inventory
- The inventory portion of total assets rose gradually from 5.39% in 2020 to 7.93% in 2024, reflecting a gradual buildup of stock or changes in inventory management.
- Net Investment in Sales-type Leases, Short-term
- Values in this category remained relatively low and stable, fluctuating between 0.7% and 1.01% over the analysis period, indicating limited exposure or changes in leasing activity.

- Prepaids and Other Current Assets
- This broader category, encompassing other prepaids, hovered close to 2% throughout the time frame, indicating stability in these asset components.
- Current Assets
- Current assets as a percentage of total assets exhibited a downward trend, starting from 59.32% in 2020, declining sharply to 43.12% in 2021, briefly increasing through 2022 and 2023, and then decreasing again to 37.94% by 2024. This suggests a strategic shift favoring longer-term asset allocation.
- Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net
- There was a consistent increase in property, plant, and equipment relative to total assets, moving from 14.12% in 2020 to 24.79% in 2024. This indicates substantial investment in fixed assets over the period.

- Long-term Assets
- Long-term assets percentage rose from 40.68% in 2020 to 62.06% in 2024, signaling a clear trend towards increasing the share of non-current assets in the total asset base, which aligns with the observed growth in property, plant, equipment, and fluctuations in long-term investments.
- Total Assets
- The composition of total assets remains consistently at 100% by definition; however, the internal shifts denote a strategic transition from current towards long-term asset holdings over the observed time frame.
