- Cash and cash equivalents
- The cash and cash equivalents values demonstrate a volatile pattern throughout the observed periods. Initially, there is a decline from US$819.3 million in March 2017 to US$508.2 million in June 2017, followed by fluctuations that culminate in a peak of approximately US$1.26 billion in September 2018. Post this peak, the value generally decreases until a trough around March 2020 (US$662.9 million). From this point onward, it rises again, reaching a high of US$1.5 billion in September 2021 before sharply dropping to US$862.8 million by December 2021.
- Short-term investments
- Short-term investments present significant variation without a consistent trend. Starting at US$98.9 million in March 2017, they rise sharply to US$623.6 million by June 2017 and US$772.5 million in September 2017. Thereafter, they decline somewhat erratically until a low of US$174.4 million in June 2018. The amount fluctuates modestly between US$200 million and US$370 million up to December 2020, before strong growth resumes in 2021, culminating in a peak of US$604 million by December 2021.
- Accounts receivable, net of allowances
- Data for this item is only available from March 2020 onward, showing rising values from US$549.7 million at the start to US$640.5 million in December 2020, followed by slight fluctuations. By December 2021, it stands at US$582.2 million. This suggests a relative stabilization or slight fall towards the end of the period.
- Other receivables
- Availability is limited to the period after March 2020. The balances show a downward trend from US$122 million in March 2020 to US$59.8 million in December 2020, followed by modest recovery toward the end of 2021, reaching US$82.7 million as of December.
- Accounts and other receivables, net of allowances (legacy)
- This category shows a general decline from US$510.2 million in March 2017 to US$567.9 million by June 2020. The data series ends thereafter, suggesting either a reclassification or discontinuation. Overall, values maintain a stable range around US$450 million to US$600 million.
- Inventories
- Inventory levels increase steadily over the entire span, from US$431.4 million in March 2017 to a peak of US$802.3 million in December 2020, followed by a moderate decline in 2021, ending at US$726.7 million. This indicates an expansion in stock holdings, possibly due to business growth or strategic stockpiling.
- Prepaid expenses
- Prepaid expenses modestly increase across time, beginning at US$53 million in March 2017, with a small dip and recovery between 2018 and early 2019, reaching a maximum of US$85.2 million by December 2021. The general upward trend suggests growing upfront payments or service prepayments.
- Other current assets
- This item shows a trend of gradual increase, moving from approximately US$105.6 million in March 2017 to US$237.1 million by December 2021, suggesting expansion or accumulation in miscellaneous current assets over the period.
- Current assets
- Overall current assets show significant growth from US$2.02 billion in March 2017 to peaks exceeding US$3.5 billion in late 2021. The trend is generally upward with periodic fluctuations, indicating growing liquidity and short-term resources.
- Long-term investments
- Long-term investments fluctuate considerably, starting at US$519 million in March 2017, dipping to approximately US$386 million in late 2019, but then escalating sharply to reach US$1.83 billion by December 2021. This reflects a strategic shift toward increasing long-term investment holdings in recent years.
- Property, plant, and equipment, net
- The net value of property, plant, and equipment consistently increases throughout the period, growing from US$588.8 million in March 2017 to US$1.55 billion by December 2021, highlighting ongoing capital investments and asset base expansion.
- Operating lease right-of-use assets
- Data for operating lease ROU assets is only available commencing late 2018 (US$69.9 million) and shows a moderate increase through 2021, reaching approximately US$92.1 million by the end of 2021. This likely reflects the adoption of updated leasing accounting standards and an increase in leased assets.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill remains relatively stable, starting at US$945.2 million in March 2017, rising steadily to about US$1.16 billion by 2019, and maintaining this level with minor fluctuations around US$1.17 billion through to the end of 2021. This suggests stable acquisition activity or impairment management.
- Other intangible assets, net
- Other intangible assets exhibit a declining trend, decreasing from US$402.1 million in March 2017 to US$323.6 million by December 2021, reflecting amortization or impairment of intangible assets over time.
- Deferred income taxes
- Deferred income taxes demonstrate fluctuations with no clear trend. Starting at approximately US$179.1 million in early 2017, figures dip mid-period before increasing again in recent years, reaching US$246.7 million by December 2021. The variability may be influenced by tax planning or timing differences.
- Other assets
- Other assets generally remain in the range of approximately US$34.8 million to US$145.3 million, with a notable increase in early 2020 followed by varying amounts and generally moderate fluctuations through 2021. This suggests episodic changes in miscellaneous asset categories.
- Long-term assets
- The total of long-term assets increases steadily from US$2.76 billion in March 2017 to over US$5.32 billion in December 2021. This indicates substantial growth in the company’s capital and noncurrent asset base across multiple categories.
- Total assets
- Total assets also show a consistent upward trajectory, climbing from US$4.78 billion in March 2017 to US$8.5 billion by December 2021. Despite some quarter-to-quarter fluctuations, the overall expansion reflects significant asset growth and accumulation over the period.
