The asset allocation of the company demonstrates notable shifts between 2021 and 2025. Current assets experienced an initial decline followed by a resurgence, while long-term assets generally maintained a higher proportion of the total. Within current assets, cash and investments exhibited volatility, while other components showed more moderate changes. A significant portion of the company’s assets consistently resides in operating lease assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
A substantial decrease in cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets is observed from 2021 to 2022, falling from 12.26% to 5.54%. This is followed by moderate fluctuations, increasing to 8.13% in 2024 before declining to 3.90% in 2025. This suggests potential active cash management or significant investment activity.
Current Investments
Current investments show a marked increase from 3.92% in 2021 to a peak of 9.13% in 2023, indicating a growing reliance on short-term investment strategies. This proportion then decreases to 7.77% in 2025, though remaining above the 2021 level. The fluctuations suggest a dynamic investment portfolio.
Operating Lease Assets
Operating lease assets consistently represent the largest portion of total assets, ranging from 46.87% to 49.62% over the period. A slight decrease is observed from 2021 to 2023, followed by an increase in 2025, potentially reflecting changes in leasing strategies or asset acquisitions.
Long-Term Investments
Long-term investments demonstrate a consistent upward trend from 4.12% in 2021 to 9.43% in 2024, suggesting a strategic shift towards longer-term asset holdings. However, this proportion declines significantly to 2.19% in 2025, potentially due to divestitures or reclassification of assets.
Current Assets Overall
The proportion of current assets to total assets decreased from 20.77% in 2021 to 16.31% in 2025. This decrease is not linear, with a slight increase observed in 2023. The decline suggests a potential shift in asset allocation towards long-term holdings or a change in working capital management.
Leasehold Improvements, Property and Equipment, net
This asset category remains relatively stable, fluctuating between 25.97% and 28.17% of total assets. A slight increase is observed in 2025, potentially indicating investment in property, plant, and equipment.
Goodwill
Goodwill consistently represents a small percentage of total assets, declining from 0.33% in 2021 to 0.24% in 2024 and remaining at that level through 2025. This suggests limited activity related to acquisitions or impairments impacting goodwill.

Overall, the asset composition indicates a dynamic financial strategy with adjustments in cash management, investment portfolios, and long-term asset allocation. The consistent prominence of operating lease assets highlights their importance to the company’s operations.
