- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The percentage of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets exhibited a fluctuating trend. Starting from 5.08% in early 2020, it rose significantly to a peak of 16.34% by late 2021. This was followed by a sharp decline to lower levels around 2-3% through 2022, then a moderate recovery to around 8% by the end of 2023. In 2024 and onwards, the ratio again declined gradually, reaching approximately 1.92% by the third quarter of 2025. This pattern indicates volatility in liquid asset holdings relative to overall assets, with intermittent accumulation and reduction phases.
- Short-term Investments
- Data on short-term investments as a percentage of total assets was absent for the early years but surfaced in 2024, showing a small but steady presence ranging from 1.6% to 1.83%. This suggests a gradual establishment or reporting of short-term investment holdings in the recent periods.
- Accounts Receivable, Net
- Accounts receivable as a proportion of total assets remained relatively stable throughout the period, generally fluctuating between 7.27% and 8.65%. This stability suggests consistent credit sales and effective receivables management relative to asset size.
- Inventories
- The inventory proportion of total assets fluctuated moderately, ranging mostly between 5.12% and 6.83%. The trend peaked in mid-2021 and showed a gradual decline afterward, reflecting possible improvements in inventory management or changes in supply chain dynamics impacting inventory levels.
- Contract Assets, Net
- Contract assets exhibited a slow but steady increase in their share of total assets, moving from around 1.06% in late 2020 to approximately 1.57% by the third quarter of 2025. This upward trend may reflect growing recognition of unbilled revenue or increasing contract work in progress.
- Other Current Assets
- This category remained relatively constant in proportion, mostly oscillating between 1.53% and 2.57%, without notable spikes or declines, indicating stable composition and valuation of miscellaneous current assets.
- Current Assets
- The total current assets as a percentage of total assets showed significant volatility. Commencing near 21.7% in early 2020, it rose sharply to nearly 33.59% at the end of 2021, followed by a sharp drop to around 20% in early 2022. Subsequently, it stabilized in the 21-25% range through 2023 and 2024, with a slight decline by mid-2025. This volatility primarily reflects fluctuations in cash, receivables, and inventories within current assets.
- Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net
- The ratio of property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) to total assets remained stable throughout the periods, generally within the 7.9% to 9.9% range. No significant upward or downward trend is observed, suggesting steady investment and asset maintenance policies related to fixed assets.
- Acquisition-related Intangible Assets, Net
- This asset category showed a general decline over the timeframe, beginning at approximately 23.08% and decreasing to about 15.77% by late 2025. The reduction was somewhat uneven, with some periods of stabilization and minor rebounds. The overall decline may be attributed to amortization, impairments, or asset disposals related to acquisitions.
- Other Assets
- Other assets as a percent of total assets remained mostly stable with a slight upward trend, ranging from 3.11% to 4.87%. This indicates a modest increase in miscellaneous long-term assets over time.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill comprised a substantial and dominant part of total assets, consistently ranging between approximately 36.56% and 47.84%. The proportion fluctuated notably but trended slightly upwards toward the later periods, peaking near 47.84% in late 2025. This indicates significant acquisition activity and the presence of intangible value allocated to corporate acquisitions.
- Long-term Assets
- The percentage of long-term assets relative to total assets demonstrated variability, ranging from 66.41% to 80.02%. After trending downward from early 2020 through early 2021, it increased markedly at the end of 2021 and generally held high levels near or above 75% thereafter. This indicates a sustained emphasis on long-term asset holdings over current assets in the asset composition.
- Total Assets
- By definition, the total assets represent 100% at all times, serving as the base reference for all other ratios.
