- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets showed a decline from 3.16% in 2017 to 1.1% in 2021, indicating a reduced liquidity position or a strategic allocation of resources away from cash holdings over the period.
- Trade Accounts Receivable
- This item decreased significantly as a percentage of total assets from 9.69% in 2017 to a low of 3.33% in 2020, with a slight increase to 3.75% in 2021. The reduction suggests tighter credit policies or improved collections, while the marginal rebound in 2021 could indicate a modest increase in credit sales.
- Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
- These assets fluctuated slightly but remained relatively stable, ranging between 1.76% and 2.43% of total assets. The stabilization suggests consistent management of prepaid and miscellaneous current assets over time.
- Settlement Assets
- There was a marked increase in settlement assets from 3.74% in 2017 to 17.9% in 2021. This substantial growth highlights an increasing role of settlement-related balances in the asset structure, possibly reflecting changes in transaction volume or processing activities.
- Assets Held for Sale
- Reported only in 2017 at 0.49%, assets held for sale were absent in subsequent years, indicating divestitures or reclassification of such assets out of this category.
- Current Assets
- The total current assets as a percentage of total assets trended upward from 19.2% in 2017 to 24.75% in 2021, denoting a gradual increase in liquidity-related resources and short-term assets within the company’s asset base.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- There was a downward trend from 3.79% in 2017 to 2.28% in 2021, reflecting either asset disposals, depreciation outpacing acquisitions, or a shift to less capital-intensive operations.
- Customer Relationships, Net
- The proportion of customer relationship assets peaked at 18.11% in 2019 and then declined to 13.1% by 2021. This decrease may signify amortization, impairment, or portfolio changes affecting the recognition of these intangible assets.
- Other Intangible Assets, Net
- This category remained relatively stable with a slight increase from 4.64% in 2019 to 5.27% in 2021 after a decrease from 7.36% in 2017. Such movements could be the result of acquisitions, amortization, or revaluation.
- Intangible Assets, Net
- Overall intangible assets showed a rise from 18.29% in 2017 to a peak of 22.75% in 2019 before declining to 18.37% by 2021. This suggests a dynamic balance between asset additions and amortization or impairments.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill represented the largest single asset category, decreasing from 54.33% in 2017 to 47.78% in 2021. The downward trend suggests partial write-downs, divestitures, or relatively lower acquisition activity compared to prior years.
- Contract Costs, Net
- Contract costs as a percentage of total assets exhibited variability, increasing from 0.82% in 2017 to 3.72% in 2018, then declining and modestly increasing again to 1.06% in 2021. This volatility indicates changes in capitalized contract-related expenditures over the period.
- Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
- Starting from no reported value in 2017, investments in unconsolidated affiliates increased to about 3.36% by 2021, reflecting a strategic expansion of interests in associated entities or joint ventures.
- Other Long-Term Assets
- These assets declined from 3.58% in 2017 to 2.39% in 2021, suggesting amortization, disposals, or reclassification efforts that reduced their relative weight in the asset structure.
- Long-Term Assets
- Long-term assets decreased from 80.8% in 2017 to 75.25% in 2021, indicating a marginal shift toward a greater proportion of current assets on the balance sheet, possibly driven by operational or strategic liquidity considerations.
- Total Assets
- All presented categories are expressed as percentages of total assets, summing to 100% in each year, providing a consistent basis for evaluating composition shifts and asset structure dynamics over the five-year period.
