- Cash and cash equivalents
- There is a pronounced fluctuation in cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets. The figure shows a significant increase from 24.46% in March 2019, peaking at 67.86% in March 2021, followed by a sharp decline to 5.74% by December 2021. Subsequently, it stabilizes around 8-15% from March 2022 through December 2023, indicating a strategy of reducing cash holdings after a period of liquidity buildup.
- Restricted cash
- Restricted cash is reported only intermittently and represents a small portion of total assets, appearing at 6.27% in September 2019 and 4.34% in December 2019, suggesting occasional allocation to restricted funds during this period without further recurrence.
- Marketable securities
- Marketable securities emerge in June 2021 at 22.8%, rising sharply to a peak of 44.14% in September 2022, then slightly declining to 41.57% by December 2023. This pattern suggests a strategic increase in investments in liquid securities, possibly as an alternative to holding cash.
- Accounts receivable, net of allowances
- The proportion of accounts receivable shows a general decrease from 25.6% in March 2019 to a low near 9% through mid-2020. Post-2020, it gradually increases again, stabilizing around 13-16% through 2023, indicating fluctuations in credit sales or collection cycles potentially influenced by market or operational factors.
- Inventory
- Inventory as a percentage of total assets fluctuates moderately, initially around 4-6% in 2019, then decreasing to a low of 1.59% in March 2021. Afterward, there is a steady increase to 6.31% by December 2023, likely reflecting changes in inventory management, supply chain dynamics, or product demand.
- Prepaid expenses and other assets
- This category steadily declines from 7.1% in March 2019 to around 1.4-2.6% through the subsequent years, displaying a gradual reduction in prepaid items and similar assets relative to total assets.
- Current assets
- Current assets as a percentage of total assets increase from 61.22% in March 2019 to a high of approximately 81.64% in March 2021, followed by a decline to about 72% by the end of 2023. This trend corresponds with observed changes in cash, securities, and receivables, indicating shifting asset composition favoring liquidity early on, then a slight rebalancing.
- Property and equipment, net
- A gradual decline from 6.32% in March 2019 to near 3% in early 2020 is noted, then a slow recovery to just under 5% by the end of 2023. This suggests modest investment in fixed assets over time after an initial reduction.
- Operating lease, right of use asset, net
- This asset category decreases from about 2.5% in March 2019 to around 0.6% by the end of 2023, indicating diminishing lease-related assets, potentially due to lease term expirations or changes in leasing strategy.
- Intangible assets, net
- A notable decline occurs from 10.69% in March 2019 down to about 2% at the end of 2023, indicating significant amortization or impairment of intangible assets over the period, with a temporary spike to 4.7% in December 2021 possibly reflecting an acquisition or revaluation.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill shows a reduction from 7.76% in March 2019 to a low around 2.07% in December 2020, followed by an increase to nearly 8.7% by December 2021, then a gradual decline to about 6.3% by the end of 2023. This pattern points to acquisition activity and subsequent adjustments.
- Other assets
- The percentage remains relatively stable, around 4-11%, with a decreasing trend from 11.52% in March 2019 to about 5-6% after 2020, reflecting possible reclassification or reduction of miscellaneous asset accounts.
- Deferred tax assets, net
- Deferred tax assets, appearing in September 2019 at 10.45%, reduce generally to about 6-8% through the subsequent years, indicating changes in tax position or recognition of deferred tax benefits.
- Convertible notes hedge
- This item appears as 4.65% in March 2020 but is not reported in other periods, suggesting a one-time adjustment or settlement related to convertible debt instruments.
- Non-current assets
- Non-current assets show a decline from 38.78% in March 2019 to about 22% by the end of 2020, followed by an increase to approximately 29.6% in December 2021, then a gradual decrease stabilizing near 27-28% through 2023. This reflects asset reallocation between current and non-current classifications, influenced by acquisitions or disposals.
- Total assets
- By definition, this remains constant at 100% across all periods, serving as the base for analyzing asset composition changes.
