- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets fluctuated moderately over the observed periods. Starting at around 9.3%, the ratio peaked at about 13.6% in early 2024 but generally exhibited a declining trend in the latter part of the timeline, settling near 7% by mid-2025. This indicates a decrease in liquidity as a percentage of total assets towards the end of the period.
- Investments
- Investment assets as a percentage of total assets showed a downward trend over the entire period. From highs above 21% in late 2019, the ratio steadily declined to just above 6% by mid-2025. This significant reduction suggests a strategic shift away from investment holdings or potentially asset reallocation favoring other asset classes.
- Accounts Receivable, Net
- The accounts receivable proportion showed variability without a clear directional trend. Beginning near 5.3%, values oscillated frequently with some peaks and troughs but ultimately declined from approximately 5% in 2019 to roughly 4% in mid-2025, indicating relatively stable credit policies and collection cycles but with some periodic fluctuations.
- Inventories
- Inventory levels as a percentage of total assets rose steadily over time. Initial values near 1.45% grew incrementally to peak at 3.58% in mid-2023 before settling around 2.8% by mid-2025. This rising trend suggests increased inventory holdings which might reflect adjustments in supply chain management or anticipation of higher demand.
- Financing Receivables, Net
- This category displayed a consistent downward trend from approximately 5.4% in 2019 to near 2.5% by the middle of 2025. This reduction implies a contraction in financing receivables relative to total assets, potentially reflecting tighter credit terms, reduced financing activities, or shifts in financing strategy.
- Other Current Assets
- The share of other current assets generally increased, moving from around 2.6% to about 5% over the period. This upward movement may indicate a diversification of current asset types or growth in miscellaneous asset components not otherwise classified.
- Current Assets
- Current assets as a percentage of total assets experienced a significant decline, particularly after early 2023. From levels above 40%, the proportion decreased steadily to under 30% by mid-2025. This decline suggests a reduction in liquid and short-term assets relative to the overall asset base, consistent with the decreasing trends in cash and investments.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- Property and equipment proportions declined slightly over the timeframe, falling from nearly 2.9% to about 1.8%. This modest reduction could indicate asset disposals, depreciation outpacing capital expenditures, or a shift toward less capital-intensive operations.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill as a percentage of total assets was consistently the largest component, initially near 36%, climbing to nearly 49% by mid-2025. This substantial increase points to accumulative acquisitions or increases in the valuation of intangible goodwill, representing a heavier reliance on acquired intangible assets within the asset structure.
- Purchased Intangible Assets, Net
- Purchased intangible assets showed a complex pattern. Initially decreasing from about 2.3% to around 1.5%, a sudden and marked increase to over 9% occurred by mid-2024, followed by a slight decline to about 7.2%. This unusual spike may reflect large acquisitions or reclassifications leading to significant revaluation of intangible assets during that period.
- Deferred Tax Assets
- The proportion of deferred tax assets experienced a gradual increase from approximately 4.3% to just over 6% toward the end of the observation period. This steady growth could be associated with changes in tax positions or recognition of deferred tax benefits.
- Other Assets
- Other assets relative to total assets rose modestly from roughly 3.9% to near 5.9% in mid-2025, with some fluctuations. This increase indicates the growing role of miscellaneous long-term assets or adjustments in asset classification.
- Long-Term Assets
- The share of long-term assets remained above 54% consistently but increased notably to over 70% in mid-2024 through mid-2025. This reflects a strategic emphasis on long-term asset holdings, possibly driven by rising goodwill and intangible assets, offsetting reductions in current assets.
- Total Assets
- By definition, total assets remained constant at 100%, serving as the baseline for all proportional analyses.
