Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents exhibit significant variability across the periods. A notable peak occurs in early 2020, reaching over US$6 billion around June 2020, likely reflecting a cash buildup phase. Subsequently, this figure gradually declines through 2021 and 2022, ending at moderate levels between US$438 million and US$962 million in 2022 and early 2023. The trend suggests episodic liquidity fluctuations, with a sharp increase followed by normalization.
Accounts Receivable, less Allowances: Accounts receivable values remain relatively stable with a mild upward trajectory over the entire period. Initial values near US$4.2 billion gradually rise to above US$5.5 billion by 2024. This steady growth may indicate increasing sales or extended credit terms, reflecting overall growth in operations.
Inventories: Inventory levels exhibit a generally upward trend. Starting at approximately US$3.3 billion, inventories increase nearly continuously, peaking around US$4.7 billion in 2022-2024. This pattern suggests increased stockholding consistent with business expansion or preparedness for demand.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets: Values for prepaid expenses and other current assets remain fairly consistent with small fluctuations around US$200–300 million. Some cyclical increases are observed but without significant trend direction, indicating stable management of these asset types.
Income Tax Receivable: Income tax receivables fluctuate considerably, with some periods showing missing or zero values. Spikes appear notably in June 2020 and July 2021 quarters, reaching above US$100 million. These irregular movements likely reflect timing variations in tax payments and refunds.
Current Assets: Current assets demonstrate a general rising trend starting from about US$8.6 billion in 2018 to approximately US$11 billion by mid-2024, despite intermediate volatility. The peak in mid-2020 correlates with increased cash balances, indicating periods of elevated liquidity.
Plant and Equipment, Net: Net plant and equipment values remain fairly stable with minor increases, ranging from roughly US$4.3 billion to US$5.5 billion over the six-year period. This suggests steady capital investment and asset maintenance, supporting operational capacity.
Goodwill: Goodwill shows a gradual increase from about US$3.9 billion in 2018 to a peak above US$5.2 billion in 2023. The growth reflects acquisitions or revaluations contributing to intangible assets of the business.
Intangibles, less Amortization: Intangible assets remain relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately US$800 million and US$1.2 billion. The values trend upward towards the later periods, indicating either new capitalized intangibles or reduced amortization impacts.
Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes show a steady increase from about US$60 million to over US$440 million. This rising trend may reflect timing differences in revenue recognition or tax planning strategies accumulating over time.
Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets: These assets appear beginning in 2019 and exhibit a consistent upward pattern from around US$600 million to over US$900 million by mid-2024, likely complying with lease accounting standards and representing increased leased asset values.
Other Assets: Other assets fluctuate moderately around US$500 million, exhibiting no clear long-term trend but showing occasional spikes, implying episodic adjustments or reclassifications.
Other Long-Term Assets: This category shows an upward trend, increasing from approximately US$5.4 billion to above US$8.3 billion over the period. Growth here indicates broad asset base expansion in long-term investments or receivables.
Long-Term Assets: Long-term assets remain on a gradual upward trajectory, growing from just under US$10 billion to nearly US$14 billion. This steady increase reflects capital expenditure and accumulation of intangible and long-term holdings.
Total Assets: Total assets rise from about US$18.5 billion in 2018 to nearly US$25 billion by mid-2024, representing overall business growth. Despite some interim fluctuations, the progression is upward, consistent with asset accumulation and expanded operations.
