- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets exhibited a fluctuating downward trend from 23.49% in March 2018 to 8.76% in March 2023, with noticeable peaks around mid-2018 and late 2021. This indicates a general reduction in liquid assets over the period, with occasional increases.
- Marketable Securities
- Marketable securities data appears only from mid-2021 onwards, showing a gradual decline from 5.07% to 1.82% by March 2023, suggesting a reduction in these readily marketable investments within total assets during the observed period.
- Short-term Investments
- Short-term investments initially fluctuated between 0.07% and 1.14% until early 2018, then markedly increased, peaking at 31.38% in March 2021, followed by a sharp decline to 0.86% in early 2022, after which the metric increased again to 25.77% by March 2023. This illustrates significant volatility, with substantial allocations to short-term investments during certain periods.
- Accounts and Notes Receivable, Net
- Receivables maintained a moderately stable share between approximately 12% and 22%, with a slight downward trend observed toward the latter periods ending near 12.63% in early 2023. There were intermittent increases around late 2018 and early 2022.
- Contract Assets, Net
- Contract assets rose steadily from 2.36% in early 2018 to a high point of 10.69% in December 2021, signaling growing recognition of contract-related revenue components, followed by a gradual decline to 7.21% by March 2023.
- Inventory
- Inventory as a percentage of total assets decreased from 10.97% in early 2018 to below 5% by the end of 2018, then oscillated in the 5% to 8.61% range over subsequent years, ending around 7.32%. This defines a general stabilization with moderate variability.
- Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
- This category maintained relatively low proportions, mostly between 2.5% and 5.5%, with minor fluctuations over time but no clear persistent trend.
- Current Assets
- Current assets increased substantially from 65.9% in early 2018, peaking near 77.57% by late 2018, then generally declined to around 60%–68% in the later periods. This overall trend reflects shifting asset compositions between current and long-term categories.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- There was a gradual reduction from approximately 7.93% in early 2018 to around 4.91% by early 2020, followed by a brief spike to over 8% in late 2020 and early 2021, then a decline again near 5.74% by early 2023. This suggests variability in fixed asset investments over time.
- Deferred Tax Assets, Net
- Deferred tax assets showed small fluctuations mostly in the 2.3% to 7.5% range, with a notable increase between 2019 and 2021, peaking at 7.53%, followed by a moderate decline thereafter.
- Intangible Assets, Net
- A slow but consistent decrease is apparent from 4.45% at the start of 2018, dropping to 0.37% by early 2023, indicating diminishing intangible asset holdings in relation to total assets.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill experienced a downward trajectory from 3.8% to 1.5% over the analyzed period, marking a consistent reduction and a lower relative significance within total assets.
- Long-term Investments
- Long-term investments emerged as a more prominent asset class starting in 2019 at approximately 5.22%, increasing to a peak above 10% in early 2020, then declining to near 1.03% by the first quarter of 2023, reflecting variable allocations over time.
- Long-term Notes Receivable, Net
- This item displayed a clear downward trend, falling from 8.81% in early 2018 to a minimal 0.15% by early 2023, suggesting a significant reduction of long-term receivables held.
- Long-term Contract Assets, Net
- From 2019 onward, these assets grew from 1.4% to a peak of 2.64% in late 2021 before declining to just below 1.6% by early 2023, marking modest growth with a recent decrease.
- Strategic Investments
- Starting data in early 2021 showed an increase from 3.83% to nearly 14.58% by early 2022, then a reduction to 9.86% by early 2023, illustrating a period of expanding strategic investment holdings followed by partial divestment.
- Other Long-term Assets
- These assets fluctuated modestly between roughly 3.2% and 7.33%, remaining a relatively stable, though minor, part of the asset mix throughout the periods.
- Long-term Assets Overall
- The share of long-term assets generally declined from 34.1% in early 2018 to a low near 22.43% by the end of 2018, then progressively increased to a peak of 40.03% in late 2022 before dropping again to 31.76% in early 2023. This indicates shifting investments between long-term and current asset categories during the period.
- Total Assets
- The total assets serve as the base of the percentages and remain constant at 100% by definition across all periods.
