The composition of assets at this company exhibits several notable shifts over the five-year period. Current assets demonstrate a generally increasing trend, while the proportion of intangible assets decreases. A significant portion of the asset base remains concentrated in noncurrent assets, particularly property, plant, and equipment, and goodwill, though the relative weight of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles is declining.

Liquidity and Current Assets
Current assets as a percentage of total assets increased from 23.58% in 2021 to 26.82% in 2023, before stabilizing around 26% in 2024 and 2025. This increase is primarily driven by growth in accounts and notes receivable, and inventories. Cash and cash equivalents experienced an initial decline from 6.06% to 5.37% between 2021 and 2022, but then rose significantly to 9.66% in 2023, subsequently decreasing to 8.53% in 2025. Prepaid expenses and other current assets remained relatively stable, albeit with a slight upward trend.
Fixed Assets
Property, plant, and equipment, net, consistently represents a substantial portion of total assets, increasing from 24.26% in 2021 to 28.16% in 2024, before decreasing slightly to 27.84% in 2025. This suggests ongoing investment in fixed assets. Operating lease right-of-use assets also show a consistent increase, rising from 2.19% to 3.49% over the period, indicating a growing reliance on leased assets.
Intangible Assets
The proportion of intangible assets decreased considerably from 40.10% in 2021 to 31.64% in 2025. This decline is most pronounced in other indefinite-lived intangible assets, which fell from 18.54% to 12.89%. Goodwill also decreased, though less dramatically, from 19.90% to 17.61%. Amortizable intangible assets remained relatively stable, representing a small percentage of total assets.
Other Assets and Investments
Other assets experienced a notable increase, rising from 4.85% in 2021 to 8.37% in 2025. This category includes deferred marketplace spending, which increased from 0.13% to 0.19%, and other investments, which increased from 0.30% to 2.35%. Investments in noncontrolled affiliates decreased from 2.54% to 1.90% over the same period. Deferred income taxes remained relatively consistent, fluctuating between 4.67% and 4.23%.
Long-Term Receivables and Pension Plans
Noncurrent notes and accounts receivable remained a small portion of total assets, with minor fluctuations. Pension plans increased from 1.36% to 1.35% over the period, showing a slight increase in the latter years.

Overall, the asset allocation demonstrates a shift away from intangible assets towards tangible assets and other investments. The increase in current assets suggests improved liquidity or a change in working capital management. The growth in property, plant, and equipment indicates continued investment in operational capacity.
