Balance Sheet: Assets
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.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Total assets experienced substantial growth over the five-year period, increasing from US$165,987 million in 2021 to US$366,021 million in 2025. This growth was driven by significant changes in both current and non-current asset categories.
- Current Assets
- Current assets demonstrated volatility. A decrease was observed from 2021 to 2022, falling from US$66,666 million to US$59,549 million. However, a strong upward trend followed, with current assets reaching US$108,722 million by 2025. This increase was largely attributable to growth in cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, and prepaid expenses and other current assets. Notably, cash and cash equivalents increased significantly in 2023, reaching US$41,862 million, and continued to grow, albeit at a slower pace, through 2024.
- Non-Current Assets
- Non-current assets exhibited consistent growth throughout the period, rising from US$99,321 million in 2021 to US$257,299 million in 2025. The most substantial contributor to this growth was property and equipment, net, which more than tripled from US$57,809 million to US$176,400 million. Goodwill also increased, though at a more moderate rate. A significant increase in non-marketable equity investments was observed in 2025, reaching US$27,524 million, representing a substantial change from prior years. Operating lease right-of-use assets also showed consistent, though less dramatic, growth.
- Cash and Investments
- The combined value of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities showed a fluctuating pattern. While decreasing from US$47,998 million in 2021 to US$40,738 million in 2022, it rebounded strongly to US$65,403 million in 2023. This trend continued into 2024, reaching US$77,815 million, before decreasing slightly to US$81,592 million in 2025. This suggests a dynamic approach to liquidity management and investment strategies.
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts receivable, net, demonstrated a steady upward trend, increasing from US$14,039 million in 2021 to US$19,769 million in 2025. This suggests a consistent level of credit sales and potentially evolving credit terms.
- Other Assets
- Other assets experienced significant fluctuation. A substantial increase was observed from US$3,385 million in 2021 to US$7,480 million in 2022, followed by a slight decrease, and then a further increase to US$13,017 million in 2024 before decreasing to US$8,437 million in 2025. This volatility warrants further investigation to understand the composition of these assets.
Overall, the asset composition shifted towards a greater proportion of non-current assets, particularly property and equipment, indicating a significant investment in long-term productive capacity. The increases in cash and marketable securities suggest a strong liquidity position, while the growth in accounts receivable reflects ongoing sales activity.
