Balance Sheet: Assets
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.

Total assets exhibited an overall upward trajectory between March 31, 2017, and March 31, 2022, increasing from 17,669 million USD to 24,577 million USD. This growth was characterized by significant volatility during the 2020-2021 period, reflecting shifts in liquidity management and operational dynamics.
- Liquidity and Cash Management
- Cash and cash equivalents demonstrated a general increase, rising from 2,503 million USD in early 2017 to 5,552 million USD by March 2022. A more pronounced trend is observed in restricted cash and cash equivalents, which grew exponentially from 34 million USD to 2,583 million USD over the analyzed period. Conversely, short-term investments showed a declining trend, peaking at 1,491 million USD in June 2018 before dropping to negligible levels by 2021, suggesting a strategic shift toward holding more liquid or restricted cash balances.
- Operational Current Assets
- Accounts receivable, net of allowance, experienced significant fluctuations. After reaching a peak of 2,893 million USD in June 2019, a sharp contraction occurred, bottoming at 701 million USD in December 2020. A recovery phase followed, with the balance rising back to 1,736 million USD by March 2022. Prepaid expenses and other current assets also showed increased volatility, peaking at 1,258 million USD in June 2021 compared to 232 million USD at the start of the period.
- Non-Current Asset Composition
- Property and equipment, net, grew steadily from 1,422 million USD in March 2017 to a peak of 2,305 million USD in June 2020, before stabilizing near 2,169 million USD. A consistent downward trend is observed in intangible assets, which decreased from 2,387 million USD to 1,368 million USD, likely due to amortization. Goodwill remained relatively stable at approximately 8,000 million USD until March 2020, when it dropped to 7,330 million USD and remained at that lower level through March 2022, indicating a potential impairment charge.
- Asset Structure and Long-term Trends
- The composition of the balance sheet shifted toward a higher proportion of current assets relative to non-current assets. Total current assets grew from 5,328 million USD to 11,147 million USD, while non-current assets remained more stagnant, moving from 12,340 million USD to 13,430 million USD. This suggests an increase in the overall liquidity profile of the organization over the five-year window.
