- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets exhibits moderate volatility over the periods. Initially high around 25%-31% during 2020, it gradually declines to the range of approximately 17%-18% throughout 2023, before a notable increase reaching above 29%-30% towards the end of the last periods examined. This reflects episodic liquidity management fluctuations, with a recent trend towards higher liquidity ratios.
- Receivables, Net
- Receivables as a percentage of total assets fluctuate between roughly 6% and 9.7% across the timeline. There is no consistent directional trend; values oscillate with intermittent increases and decreases, reflecting variable credit sales or collection efficiency. The peaks often appear near mid-year quarters, suggesting possible seasonality in receivables.
- Inventories
- Inventories maintain a relatively low proportion of total assets, mostly between 1% and 3.5%. The trend indicates a gradual increase from just above 1.5% in early 2020 to over 3% in late 2023, with some fluctuations. This gradual buildup may indicate higher stock levels or strategic inventory accumulation.
- Prepaid Expenses and Other
- This category shows a general upward trend from about 2% to nearly 6% of total assets over the periods, with some volatility. The increase is especially pronounced starting in late 2022 through mid-2024. This may suggest growing prepaid costs or other deferred charges increasing in proportion to the asset base.
- Current Assets
- The share of current assets declines from above 41% in mid-2020 to the low thirties by 2023, followed by a sharp rise to around 44% in 2024 and beyond. This notable recent increase points to enhanced short-term asset accumulation, possibly linked to cash or receivables spikes.
- Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
- This asset class remains relatively stable between 5% and 8% of total assets, with a slight downward drift from nearly 7.5% toward approximately 5% in recent periods. The steady state suggests limited fluctuations in fixed asset investments or disposals.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill consistently represents a substantial portion of total assets, fluctuating between approximately 18% and 33%. After a gradual rise from around 20% in early periods to peaks above 27% into 2023, there are pronounced spikes reaching over 33%, indicating potential acquisition activity or valuation adjustments during these times.
- Acquired Intangibles, Net
- The acquired intangible assets as a percentage of total assets vary between 4.9% and 9.2%, showing some upward spikes in later periods. Notably, substantial increases occur intermittently, possibly related to asset capitalization or acquisitions.
- Deferred Taxes
- The deferred tax proportion shows a gradual decline from above 18% to under 10% by the final periods. This steady decrease suggests changes in tax liabilities or timing differences impacting the asset recognition of deferred taxes.
- Other Assets
- Other assets maintain a relatively stable share between about 6% and 11%, with a slight downward trend visible in recent periods, decreasing from approximately 9.3% to around 6%.
- Long-term Assets
- The percentage of long-term assets hovers mostly in the 55%-69% range. After a period of moderate decline from about 63% to 55%, a notable increase occurs around late 2023, before returning to the lower range. This variability reflects shifts in asset composition between current and long-term assets over time.
- Total Assets
- Total assets are standardized to 100% in all periods, serving as the basis for all proportional measurements.
