Total assets experienced a prolonged growth trajectory, increasing from approximately 6.15 billion USD in March 2021 to a peak of 9.28 billion USD in September 2025, before declining to 8.80 billion USD by March 2026. This overall expansion was primarily driven by the consistent growth of long-term assets, which offset volatility in current asset holdings.

Current Asset Trends
Current assets exhibited significant volatility, peaking at 1.87 billion USD in June 2025 before a sharp contraction to 1.14 billion USD by March 2026. Cash and cash equivalents followed a similar pattern, reaching a high of 844.5 million USD in June 2025 and falling to 246.6 million USD by the end of the period. Current investments remained relatively stable between 600 million and 850 million USD for much of 2023 and 2024, ending at 624.8 million USD. Inventory showed a steady upward trend, growing from 24.3 million USD in March 2021 to 44.7 million USD in March 2026, suggesting an increase in operational scale.
Fixed and Long-Term Asset Expansion
Long-term assets demonstrated a consistent and linear increase, rising from 4.69 billion USD in March 2021 to 7.67 billion USD in March 2026. The primary catalyst for this growth was operating lease assets, which climbed from 2.86 billion USD to 4.61 billion USD over the analyzed period. Similarly, leasehold improvements, property, and equipment (net) grew steadily from 1.61 billion USD to 2.77 billion USD, reflecting continuous investment in physical infrastructure and store expansion. Goodwill remained stagnant at 21.9 million USD throughout the entire period.
Investment and Liquidity Shifts
A notable shift in capital allocation occurred regarding long-term investments. These assets grew from 110.9 million USD in March 2021 to a peak of 972.6 million USD in June 2024, followed by a precipitous decline to 96.4 million USD by March 2026. This liquidation, combined with the sharp drop in cash and cash equivalents in late 2025 and early 2026, indicates a significant deployment of liquid capital toward other uses or a strategic restructuring of the balance sheet.
Other Asset Observations
Income tax receivables showed high variability with several gaps in reporting, though they generally fluctuated between 47 million and 318 million USD. Restricted cash remained stable, hovering between 25 million and 35 million USD. Prepaid expenses and other current assets saw a gradual increase from 61.6 million USD in early 2021 to 126.3 million USD by March 2026.
