The asset composition reflects a significant strategic shift between 2018 and 2022, characterized by a transition from a highly liquid, cash-dominant balance sheet to one with a greater emphasis on long-term operational infrastructure. Current assets as a percentage of total assets declined steadily from 88.70% in 2018 to 68.05% in 2022, while non-current assets increased from 11.30% to 31.95% over the same period.

Liquidity and Cash Management
A substantial reallocation of liquid assets is observed. Cash and cash equivalents dropped sharply from 59.34% of total assets in 2018 to 11.91% in 2022. Conversely, short-term marketable securities increased from 12.97% to 33.64%, suggesting a shift toward instruments that may offer higher yields while maintaining liquidity. Despite the decrease in absolute cash percentage, the combination of cash and marketable securities remains a primary component of the asset base, though its total share declined from 72.31% in 2018 to 45.55% in 2022.
Working Capital Components
Accounts receivable remained relatively stable as a percentage of total assets, fluctuating between 9.99% and 13.23%. Inventory showed a moderate increase from 3.69% in 2018, peaking at 7.35% in 2021, before settling at 5.69% in 2022. Additionally, there was an emergence of prepaid expenses and prepaid inventory starting in 2021, which collectively reached 2.17% of total assets by 2022.
Fixed Asset and Infrastructure Growth
A consistent upward trend is observed in property and equipment, net, which grew from 9.56% in 2018 to 19.58% in 2022. This indicates a sustained increase in capital expenditures and investment in physical infrastructure. The growth in non-current assets is further supported by the appearance of deferred tax assets, which reached 6.33% by 2022, and a notable increase in net intangibles, which rose to 3.21% in the final year of the period analyzed.
Other Non-Current Assets
Operating lease right-of-use assets appeared in 2019 at 2.99% and gradually decreased to 1.48% by 2022. Goodwill remained a negligible portion of the total asset base, consistently staying below 1% throughout the five-year period.
