Balance Sheet: Assets
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.

The annual financial data reveals several key trends in the company's asset structure and liquidity position over a six-year period.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The cash balance increased significantly from 886 million in early 2019 to a peak of 1,775 million in 2020, remaining relatively stable up to 2023 before slightly decreasing to 1,892 million in 2024. This indicates maintenance of strong liquidity.
- Marketable Securities
- Short-term marketable securities showed moderate growth with fluctuations, increasing overall from 68 million in 2019 to 354 million in 2024. Long-term marketable securities appeared starting in 2022 and increased steadily thereafter, suggesting a strategic shift to longer-term investments.
- Accounts Receivable, Net
- Accounts receivable grew steadily from 474 million in 2019 to a peak of 961 million in 2023 before declining to 876 million in 2024. The growth may reflect increased sales or extended credit terms, while the decline might indicate improved collections or decreased sales.
- Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
- These assets increased consistently year-over-year, nearly doubling from 192 million in 2019 to 457 million in 2024, pointing to higher advance payments or other current asset components increasing over time.
- Current Assets
- A steady upward trend is observed for total current assets, rising from 1,620 million in 2019 to 3,579 million in 2024, underscoring a strengthening liquidity position in the short term.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- The net value of computer equipment, software, furniture, and leasehold improvements peaked at 193 million in 2021 but then declined steadily to 121 million by 2024. This declining trend might reflect asset disposals or accelerated depreciation.
- Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets
- After first being reported in 2020 at 439 million, these assets decreased yearly to 224 million by 2024, likely indicating amortization or lease term completions.
- Intangible Assets, Net
- Intangible assets declined from 281 million in 2019 to 199 million in 2021, surged sharply to 494 million in 2022, and then stabilized around 406-407 million through 2023 and 2024, suggesting acquisition activity or revaluation in 2022 followed by stabilization.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill steadily increased from 2,451 million in 2019 to 3,653 million in 2024, reflecting ongoing acquisitions or business combinations over the period.
- Deferred Income Taxes, Net
- Deferred income taxes fluctuated but showed an upward trend overall, jumping from 65 million in 2019 to 1,093 million in 2024. This may indicate accumulated temporary differences or changes in tax positions.
- Long-term Other Assets
- Other long-term assets increased steadily from 163 million in 2019 to 602 million in 2024, further contributing to total long-term assets growth.
- Long-term Assets
- Long-term assets rose markedly from 3,109 million in 2019 to 6,333 million in 2024, driven primarily by increases in goodwill, intangibles, deferred taxes, and other long-term assets, showing greater investment in long-lived assets and acquisitions.
- Total Assets
- Total assets exhibited consistent growth, nearly doubling from 4,729 million in 2019 to 9,912 million in 2024, indicating overall expansion of the company's asset base with a balanced increase in both current and long-term assets.
