Balance Sheet: Assets
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Total assets have demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from $9.99 billion in March 2019 to $13.35 billion by June 2024. This growth reflects a steady expansion of the balance sheet, driven by both operational scaling and strategic acquisitions.
- Current Asset Trends
- Current assets grew from $3.71 billion to $5.57 billion, representing a significant increase in short-term liquidity and operational resources. Accounts receivable showed a strong long-term upward trend, rising from $1.15 billion in 2019 to $1.76 billion in 2024, indicating an increase in credit sales or longer collection cycles. Similarly, contract assets expanded from $878 million to $1.21 billion, suggesting a growth in long-term projects or performance-based obligations.
- Inventories experienced a marked increase, nearly doubling from $425 million in early 2019 to a peak of $1.16 billion in October 2022, before stabilizing around $803 million by June 2024. This volatility suggests periods of strategic stockpiling or responses to supply chain fluctuations. Cash and cash equivalents remained volatile, peaking at $1.92 billion in July 2021 and ending at $1.38 billion in June 2024.
- Non-Current Asset Composition
- Non-current assets increased from $6.28 billion to $7.77 billion. The primary driver of this growth was goodwill, which rose substantially from $1.86 billion in March 2019 to $3.40 billion in June 2024. This indicates significant investment in acquisitions and the integration of external businesses.
- Intangible assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating between $1.10 billion and $1.42 billion, while property, plant, and equipment stayed consistent around the $900 million to $1 billion range. This suggests that the company's growth strategy has prioritized intellectual property and business acquisitions over the expansion of physical manufacturing or office infrastructure.
- Asset Structural Shifts
- The ratio of current assets to total assets has increased, shifting the balance sheet toward a more liquid posture. The proliferation of goodwill as a percentage of total assets highlights a transition toward an asset base heavily weighted by intangible value. Deferred income taxes also saw a general increase, rising from $953 million to $1.23 billion, reflecting changes in taxable versus book income over the five-year span.
