- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets decreased from 4.29% in 2020 to a low of 1.85% in 2022, followed by a gradual recovery to 2.75% by 2024. This indicates a reduction in liquid assets initially, with a modest increase in liquidity toward the end of the period.
- Receivables, Net
- Receivables as a percentage of total assets showed an increasing trend from 4.19% in 2020 to a peak of 5.22% in 2023, with a slight decrease to 5.13% in 2024. This suggests a growing portion of assets tied in accounts receivable over the years, potentially reflecting higher sales on credit or extended collection periods.
- Other Current Assets
- The share of other current assets increased steadily from 1.29% in 2020 to 2.19% in 2024, indicating a diversification or growth in current assets beyond cash and receivables.

- The overall current assets as a percentage of total assets decreased initially from 9.76% in 2020 to 8.48% in 2022, followed by a rebound to 10.07% in 2024. This pattern corresponds with changes in cash and other current assets, showing fluctuations in short-term asset composition.
- Film and Television Costs

- Franchise Rights
- Franchise rights remained fairly stable, hovering around 21.5% to 23.07% with a slight decline from 23.07% in 2022 to 22.3% in 2024, reflecting limited changes in intangible assets related to franchise agreements.
- Other Intangible Assets, Net
- Other intangible assets exhibited a gradual downward trend from 12.92% in 2020 to 9.62% in 2024, consistent with reductions in intangible asset balances possibly due to amortization or asset write-downs.
- Intangible Assets, Net (Total)
- Total intangible assets fell from 34.6% to 31.92% over the period, echoing the declines in goodwill and other intangibles, pointing to a decreasing share of intangible assets relative to total assets.

- This category increased notably from 2.96% in 2020 to approximately 4.7% in 2024, indicating rising proportions of other long-term assets on the balance sheet.
- Noncurrent Assets
- Noncurrent assets consistently represented the overwhelming majority of total assets, fluctuating slightly between 89.93% and 91.52%. Despite minor changes, the high concentration confirms a capital-intensive asset structure dominated by noncurrent holdings.
