Cash and cash equivalents
The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets exhibited variability over the period analyzed. Starting at 10.96%, this figure reached a peak of 20.56% in October 2021, indicating a conservative liquidity position at that time. Subsequently, it fluctuated, decreasing to a low of 8.44% by March 2025, before partially recovering towards 12.4% in June 2025. This pattern suggests periods of increased cash holdings possibly for strategic or operational needs, followed by reductions potentially aligned with investments or other uses of cash.
Short-term investments
Short-term investments were consistently a minor component of total assets, generally below 1.5%. The share experienced slight increases intermittently, notably around early 2022 and early 2023, suggesting occasional shifts of liquidity into short-term instruments. Despite these changes, the overall proportion remained limited, indicating a preference for more liquid assets or alternative investment types.
Accounts receivable, net
The net accounts receivable ratio remained relatively stable, centered around 3% to 4%, with a mild upward trend from approximately 3.27% in late 2019 to nearing 4% by the end of the observed period in 2025. This could reflect steady sales on credit, with no significant deterioration or improvement in receivables relative to total assets.
Inventories
Inventory levels showed a noticeable upward trend, rising from about 5.08% initially to values exceeding 7.7% by late 2022, before experiencing a slight decline and then fluctuating around 6% to 7% through mid-2025. This increase may characterize enhanced stock holdings to support expanded operations or to mitigate supply chain uncertainties.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
The share of prepaid expenses and other current assets increased early in the period, peaking near 3.16%, before generally declining and stabilizing around 1% to 1.6%. This trajectory suggests an initial buildup followed by normalization, possibly reflecting changes in vendor terms or operating cycle adjustments.
Current assets
The proportion of current assets out of total assets demonstrated an initial rise, peaking at over 31% in late 2021, followed by a relatively stable period between 21% and 26%. This pattern may reflect fluctuations in liquidity management and working capital components in response to operational needs or market conditions.
Long-term investments
Long-term investments remained a minor and fairly stable element, maintaining levels generally below 1.1%, with slight periodic variations. This stability suggests consistent capital allocation without significant shifts towards or away from long-term investment holdings.
Equity investments
Equity investments showed a generally stable to increasing trend, starting below 1.5%, dipping briefly in late 2021, then gradually rising to around 1.5% by 2024 with minor fluctuations. This indicates a modest but sustained allocation in equity instruments or stakes over time.
Property, plant and equipment, net
Net property, plant, and equipment as a share of total assets decreased slightly from 23.05% in late 2019 to a low around 20.29% in late 2021, then consistently increased reaching over 27% by late 2024. This suggests ongoing capital expenditures or asset revaluation contributing to an expanding fixed asset base in the latter periods.
Operating lease, right-of-use asset
The right-of-use asset related to operating leases comprised a significant portion of total assets, initially over 30%, but decreased to approximately 26% by late 2021 before gradually recovering to near 29% by late 2024. This trend may reflect modifications in lease portfolio size or lease accounting adjustments over time.
Deferred income taxes, net
Deferred income taxes maintained a consistent share of total assets around 6%, with minor fluctuations. The stability suggests steady deferred tax positions likely linked to ongoing timing differences between financial reporting and tax recognition.
Other long-term assets
This component experienced modest growth, beginning below 2% and rising towards 2.3%, with some oscillation. The moderate upward movement indicates slight expansion in non-current miscellaneous assets, potentially including intangible or specialized investments.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets declined steadily from approximately 2.7% down to near 0.3% by the end of the period, reflecting significant amortization or disposals. A minor rebound was observed after 2024 but remained well below initial levels. This decline points to diminishing recognized intangible asset balances.
Goodwill
Goodwill as a part of total assets slightly decreased from about 12.7% to around 10.1%, with some fluctuations along the timeline. The trend suggests impairments or adjustments, or lack of significant acquisitions creating additional goodwill.
Long-term assets
The share of long-term assets as a percentage of total assets showed a decrease from nearly 79% to around 69% in late 2021, followed by a rebound to approximately 78% by late 2024. This dip and recovery pattern indicates shifting asset composition between current and long-term classifications over the intervals.
Total assets
By definition, total assets remained constant at 100% throughout the period, serving as the basis for relative component analysis.
