Cash and cash equivalents
The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets exhibited volatility across the observed periods. Starting at a high level near 23.83% at the end of 2018, it notably declined through 2019 and remained mostly in the range of 9% to 14% from 2020 onward, with a mild downward trend approaching 8.44% in early 2025. This suggests a reduction in liquid holdings over time, potentially reflecting strategic asset allocation or operational cash usage.
Short-term investments
This asset category maintained a low percentage of total assets, fluctuating mainly between approximately 0.2% and 1.3%. There was no sustained upward or downward trend, but intermittent modest increases near early 2022 and from late 2023 to 2025 indicate selective investment activity in short-term instruments.
Accounts receivable, net
The accounts receivable percentage remained relatively stable around 3% to 4%, with some moderate fluctuations. Noteworthy is a peak near 4.2% in late 2021 and early 2022, followed by a stabilization around 3.6% to 4% through 2024 and early 2025, reflecting consistent credit sales and collection practices.
Inventories
Inventory levels as a proportion of total assets showed variability but generally hovered between 4.9% and 8.2%. After a peak in early 2019, the ratio declined in 2019, then gradually increased through 2022, followed by a slight tapering through late 2024 into early 2025. This pattern suggests adjustments in stock management possibly influenced by market demand and supply chain conditions.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
This component decreased from over 3% at the end of 2018 to approximately 1% to 2% in subsequent years, with some oscillations. The gradual reduction may reflect improved expense recognition timing or less reliance on prepaid items.
Current assets
The total current assets proportion declined notably from about 38% at the end of 2018 to a range roughly between 21% and 31% afterwards. A sharp decrease occurred starting 2019, stabilizing around mid-20% from 2020 onward, indicating a strategic shift favoring long-term assets or changes in asset composition.
Long-term investments
Long-term investments consistently accounted for under 1.5% of total assets, with minor fluctuations showing slight decreases overall toward approximately 0.7% in recent periods. This reveals a stable but limited allocation to long-term investment holdings.
Equity investments
The share of equity investments was low but showed a gradual increase over time from about 1.6% to peaks nearing 1.5% by early 2025, albeit with some interruptions. This incremental growth implies selective expansion or revaluation in equity stakes.
Property, plant and equipment, net
This asset class fluctuated from a high near 35% in early 2019 down to roughly 20% in late 2020, followed by a steady increase reaching about 28% by early 2025. This trend points to fluctuating capital expenditure and asset utilization, with recent growth suggesting asset base expansion or revaluation.
Operating lease, right-of-use asset
Introduced in late 2019, this category consistently accounted for around 27% to 30% of total assets, with minor fluctuations but no clear trend. It reflects significant lease-related assets forming a stable part of the asset structure over recent years.
Deferred income taxes, net
This component showed moderate variability between about 3% and 9% through early periods, settling into a narrower range between approximately 5% and 6.5% from 2020 onward. This indicates a stabilized position regarding deferred tax assets.
Other long-term assets
Consistently representing a small portion around 1.7% to 2.6%, this segment demonstrated slight fluctuations without a sustained directional change, indicating steady diversification of long-term non-core assets.
Other intangible assets
A clear downward trend in intangible assets as a percentage of total assets is observed, declining from nearly 5% at the end of 2018 to less than 1% by 2024 and early 2025. This persistent decline likely reflects amortization, impairment, or asset disposals.
Goodwill
The goodwill ratio declined from over 17% at the end of 2018 to near 10% by early 2025, exhibiting a gradual but consistent reduction. This decrease might be due to impairments, acquisitions, or reclassification, indicating a changing valuation or strategy regarding acquired businesses.
Long-term assets
The proportion of long-term assets remained dominant, generally accounting for 62% to 79% of total assets over the period, with a slight upward tendency toward 78% in recent years. This underlines a solid asset base emphasizing longer-term investments and fixed assets relative to current holdings.
Total assets
Normalized at 100% for all periods, the total assets composition shifted over time with increasing weight toward long-term assets and decreasing reliance on current assets, illustrating evolving asset management priorities.
