- Cash and cash equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets has exhibited fluctuations over the observed periods, generally ranging between approximately 0.2% and 1.5%. There is a notable dip to around 0.21% near the end of 2022, followed by a recovery to above 1% in early 2023, and then a decline again towards mid-2024. This indicates variability in the immediate liquid asset holdings as a share of total assets.
- Short-term investments
- Short-term investments as a percentage of total assets have shown significant volatility. Starting near 5%, they rose sharply to over 19% in mid-2023, followed by a steep decline to levels between 2.8% and 7.6% in 2024 and 2025. This pattern suggests strategic shifts in investment positions with a focus on short-term liquidity at times, but a reduction thereafter.
- Trade accounts receivable, net
- Trade accounts receivable relative to total assets remained fairly stable within a band of about 4.6% to 8.3%, with a slight upward trend observed in most recent periods, moving from around 4.9% to nearly 6.8%. This reflects a moderate increase in credit extended to customers or possibly timing differences in collections.
- Inventories
- Inventory levels as a percentage of assets were relatively steady throughout, fluctuating mildly in a range of approximately 4.5% to 5.6%. There were no extreme variations, denoting consistent inventory management in proportion to the asset base.
- Current tax assets
- The share of current tax assets declined somewhat from around 2.0% in early 2020 to levels near 1.3%-1.5% in late 2022, with intermittent increases afterward, reaching close to 1.9% in mid-2024. This fluctuation may be influenced by periodic tax recoverable balances or adjustments in tax planning.
- Other current assets
- Other current assets exhibited a gradual increase in the first part of the timeline, reaching above 3% at some points, before trending downward to below 1.5% by late 2025. This trend suggests a potential reclassification or reduction in miscellaneous current asset components.
- Current assets (overall)
- Current assets as a category showed significant variability, fluctuating between roughly 17.5% and 36.2% of total assets. Peaks occurred around late 2021 through mid-2023, indicating periods of higher liquidity or short-term resources, followed by a decrease to values near 19%-22% in 2024-2025. This reflects shifts in working capital management.
- Long-term investments
- There is a clear downward trajectory in long-term investments over the time span, starting at approximately 11% and declining to very low levels near 1% by 2025. This suggests a substantial divestiture or reclassification of long-term investment holdings.
- Property, plant and equipment, net
- The proportion of property, plant, and equipment displayed minor fluctuations between about 7.8% and 9.1%, maintaining a relatively stable share of total assets. This stability indicates consistent investment or depreciation patterns in fixed assets.
- Identifiable intangible assets, net
- Intangible assets as a percentage of total assets showed some variability, ranging mainly between 13.9% and 28.7%. After a decline during 2020-2021, there was a marked increase around late 2022 and early 2023, reaching near 28%, before moderately declining toward the end of the period. This may reflect acquisitions or revaluations of intangible assets followed by amortization or disposals.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill remained the largest single component of total assets, generally ranging from 23% to 35%. A decline was observed from early 2020 to late 2021, followed by an increase peaking around 33% in 2025. The fluctuations in goodwill likely correspond to acquisition activity and impairment assessments.
- Noncurrent deferred tax assets and other noncurrent tax assets
- This category exhibited a steady increase overall, beginning at around 1.3% and rising to over 5% by mid-2025. The gradual increase indicates accumulating deferred tax assets or growth in longer-term tax recoverables.
- Other noncurrent assets
- Other noncurrent assets rose initially from about 2.4% to over 6.6% near late 2022, then declined to around 4.4%-4.7% in the most recent periods. This may suggest changes in asset classification or disposals in long-term miscellaneous assets.
- Noncurrent assets (overall)
- Noncurrent assets as a percentage of total assets fluctuated between approximately 63.8% and 82.5%, with a notable dip in the 2023 timeframe and a recovery afterward. This pattern suggests movements between current and noncurrent asset classifications, driven by investment, amortization, and other noncurrent asset activity.
