Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-11-02), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-11-03), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-10-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-10-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-10-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-11-01).
- Finished Goods
- The value of finished goods showed an initial increase from 323 million USD in 2020 to a peak of 780 million USD in 2022. This was followed by a decline to 504 million USD in 2024, before rising again to 682 million USD in 2025. This pattern indicates some volatility in the inventory of finished goods, with a notable dip during the middle years.
- Work-in-Process
- Work-in-process inventory demonstrates a generally upward trend across the considered periods. Starting at 558 million USD in 2020, it gradually increased each year, reaching 1,280 million USD by 2025. This steady growth suggests an increasing volume of production activities or longer production cycles over time.
- Raw Materials
- Raw materials inventory exhibited moderate fluctuations. Beginning at 122 million USD in 2020, values increased to 194 million USD in 2021, then slightly declined in 2022 to 179 million USD. Subsequently, it rose again to 321 million USD in 2023, before slightly lowering to 286 million USD in 2024 and increasing again to 308 million USD in 2025. Such fluctuations may reflect adjustments in procurement strategies or varying supply chain conditions.
- Total Inventory
- Total inventory experienced a strong upward trajectory from 2020 through 2025. It increased from 1,003 million USD in 2020 to 2,270 million USD in 2025, marking more than a twofold rise over the period. Despite slight decreases in certain years, the overall trend suggests increased inventory levels, possibly due to growth in business scale or changes in inventory management policies.
- Summary
- Overall, inventory components present different trends: finished goods show variability with peaks and troughs, work-in-process inventory exhibits consistent growth, and raw materials fluctuate moderately. The aggregate inventory's steady increase points towards expanding operational capacity or stockpiling strategies. Monitoring these inventory trends is crucial for optimizing working capital and production efficiency.
