- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets exhibits a declining trend from 59.95% in 2019 to 20.96% in 2023. Following a sharp decrease in 2020 to 18.54%, it shows some variability but remains significantly lower than the initial value, indicating reduced liquidity or allocation of cash to other uses.
- Short-term Investments
- Short-term investments as a percentage of total assets demonstrate notable fluctuations. It increases sharply from 24.28% in 2019 to a peak of 55.85% in 2020, then decreases to 22.89% in 2022 before rising again to 42.27% in 2023. This indicates active management of short-term assets with shifting preferences between liquid cash and investments.
- Accounts Receivable, Net
- Accounts receivable as a percentage of total assets increase substantially from 3.18% in 2019 to 11.05% in 2022, before declining to 7.31% in 2023. This suggests an increase in credit sales or collection times through 2022, with some improvement or tighter controls in the most recent period.
- Inventory
- Inventory relative to total assets rises from 5.21% in 2019 to a peak of 12.43% in 2021, followed by a decrease to 6.87% in 2023. This pattern may reflect increased production or stockpiling up to 2021, with a subsequent drawdown or improved inventory management thereafter.
- Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
- The share of prepaid expenses and other current assets remains relatively stable, fluctuating mildly around 0.8% to 1.3%, indicating consistent usage of these asset categories without significant volatility.
- Current Assets
- Overall, current assets as a percentage of total assets decline steadily from 93.43% in 2019 to 78.21% in 2023, reflecting a gradual shift towards noncurrent assets or changes in asset allocation priorities over the period.
- Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets
- This asset category shows variability with an initial value of 3.8% in 2019, a decrease in 2020, a peak at 7.95% in 2021, then a consistent decline to 1.9% by 2023. This may indicate changes in lease agreements or asset capitalization policies.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- The proportion of property and equipment increases from 2.12% in 2019 to a high of 7.45% in 2022, followed by a decline to 4.4% in 2023. This suggests investment in fixed assets peaked before a reduction in the relative book value or possible disposals.
- Equity Method Investment
- Equity method investments appear starting in 2021 at 1.73%, then decrease steadily to 0.1% in 2023, indicating either divestitures or a decrease in the carrying amount of these investments.
- Intangible Assets, Net
- Intangible assets are reported starting in 2022 at 5.93% and represent a new category in the asset base, suggesting acquisition or recognition of intangible resources.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill is first recorded in 2023 at 2.53% of total assets, indicating an acquisition or business combination during that year.
- Deferred Tax Assets
- Deferred tax assets emerge in 2022 at 15.1%, decreasing to 6.33% in 2023. This sizable recognition followed by reduction implies changes in tax positions or valuation adjustments during the period.
- Other Assets
- Other assets as a percentage of total assets remain relatively stable, fluctuating slightly around 0.6% to 0.81%, indicating minor impact on overall asset structure.
- Noncurrent Assets
- The share of noncurrent assets increases significantly from 6.57% in 2019 to 28.92% in 2022, before decreasing to 21.79% in 2023. This trend reflects a strategic shift in asset composition, potentially due to increased capitalization of intangibles, property, and deferred tax assets.
- Total Assets
- Total assets remain consistently measured as 100% at each date, serving as the baseline for all relative measures presented.
