Cash and Cash Equivalents
The cash and cash equivalents remained relatively stable between 2017 and early 2019, fluctuating between approximately $300 million and $700 million. Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, there was a sharp and significant increase, peaking at over $1 billion. This was followed by a decline and subsequent fluctuations around the $800 to $900 million range through early 2022, indicating an initial influx of liquidity followed by stabilization at elevated levels.
Trade Accounts Receivable, Less Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
This item showed steady growth from approximately $860 million in early 2017 to about $1,049 million by the end of 2018. A notable surge occurred in the latter half of 2019, with receivables reaching around $2.8 billion, followed by some volatility but maintaining an upward trend, culminating at nearly $2.9 billion by the first quarter of 2022. This suggests an expansion in sales or extended credit terms over the period.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets saw moderate increases through 2017 and 2018, rising from approximately $446 million to about $760 million. From 2019 onward, a sharp increase to over $1.5 billion occurred, followed by fluctuations between $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion. This pattern indicates increased upfront payments or accumulated assets that are expected to be consumed within the short term.
Settlement Assets
Settlement assets data begin from late 2019, showing a value close to $13 billion. After an initial decline in early 2020, these assets exhibited growth again, reaching peak levels around $13.6 billion by the end of 2021, before slightly declining in early 2022. This volatility may reflect fluctuations in transactional settlements or clearing processes handled.
Assets Held for Sale
A nominal value is reported only once in 2017, indicating a minor or one-time asset disposal or classification event without any subsequent recurring impact.
Current Assets
Current assets generally increased over time, from about $1.6 billion in early 2017 up to peaks exceeding $18 billion in recent periods. The pronounced jump after mid-2019 aligns with increases in receivables, prepaid expenses, and settlement assets, suggesting growth in operational scale or changes in short-term asset management.
Property and Equipment, Net
This asset category showed steady but slow growth over the entire period, with values rising from around $400 million in 2017 to approximately $1.7 billion by early 2022, indicating ongoing capital investment and asset base expansion.
Customer Relationships, Net
Starting from 2019, customer relationships are recorded and display a declining trend, moving from roughly $14.5 billion down to below $9.5 billion by early 2022. This suggests amortization or impairment of intangible assets related to customer relationships over time.
Other Intangible Assets, Net
These assets remained relatively stable with slight fluctuations around $1.8 billion until 2018, followed by a rise peaking above $4 billion in 2020, and then a modest decline to approximately $4 billion by 2022. This pattern indicates additions and amortizations within the intangible asset portfolio.
Intangible Assets, Net (Aggregate)
The aggregate figure follows a similar trend to the constituent parts, remaining stable through 2018 around $1.8 billion, then surging significantly to over $17 billion in late 2019, possibly reflecting acquisitions or reclassifications. Thereafter, a declining trajectory to approximately $13.4 billion by early 2022 indicates amortization or impairments.
Goodwill
Goodwill remained steady from 2017 through early 2019, around $5.4 to $5.7 billion. A sharp increase occurred in late 2019 to over $35 billion, maintaining around this elevated level with minor fluctuations through 2022. This significant step-up implies substantial acquisitions during this period.
Contract Costs, Net
From limited data in 2017, contract costs increased steadily from about $84 million to $840 million by early 2022, reflecting growing investments or capitalized costs related to customer contracts and agreements.
Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
Reported starting in late 2019, these investments remain stable with minor fluctuations around $2.5 to $3 billion, indicating consistent stakes in associated entities without major disposals or additions.
Other Long-Term Assets
Other long-term assets grew gradually from just over $400 million in early 2017 to about $1.9 billion by early 2022, signifying modest accumulation of long-term investments or reserves.
Long-Term Assets
Long-term assets remained stable through 2017 and 2018 at approximately $8 billion, followed by a substantial increase at the end of 2019 to nearly $60 billion, maintaining this elevated level with minor variances to early 2022. This mirrors the pattern of goodwill and intangibles, suggesting large-scale asset revaluation or acquisition activity.
Total Assets
Total assets were relatively flat around $9.7 billion from 2017 through early 2019, then surged dramatically to over $77 billion by late 2019. Since then, total assets fluctuated slightly but mostly remained within the $75 billion to $76 billion range through early 2022. This indicates a major expansion phase around late 2019, likely tied to corporate transactions impacting asset size.
