Total assets experienced a substantial upward trajectory from December 31, 2017, to December 31, 2021, increasing from approximately 7.57 billion to 11.72 billion. This expansion is primarily attributed to the steady growth of inventory and net property and equipment, alongside a significant accounting adjustment in 2019 and a liquidity surge in 2020.

Current Asset Composition and Trends
Inventory represents the most significant component of current assets, showing a consistent increase from 3.01 billion in 2017 to 3.69 billion in 2021. Accounts receivable and amounts receivable from suppliers also followed a general upward trend, reflecting scaled operations. A notable volatility in liquidity occurred in 2020, where cash and cash equivalents rose sharply from 40.4 million to 465.6 million, before moderating to 362.1 million in 2021.
Noncurrent Asset Evolution
Net property and equipment demonstrated steady growth, rising from 3.34 billion to 4.21 billion over the five-year period, indicating ongoing investment in physical infrastructure. A structural shift occurred in 2019 with the introduction of operating lease right-of-use assets valued at 1.93 billion, which remained stable through 2021. Goodwill remained relatively flat, peaking in 2019 at 936.8 million before slightly declining.
Asset Base Expansion and Structural Changes
The total asset base expanded by approximately 54% over the analyzed period. The most significant leap occurred between 2018 and 2019, where total assets rose from 7.98 billion to 10.72 billion, primarily due to the recognition of right-of-use assets. Subsequent growth was driven by a combination of increased cash reserves and the continued accumulation of inventory and fixed assets.
