- Current Assets
- Current assets overall increased substantially from $5.65 billion in 2019 to a peak of $9.76 billion in 2021 before decreasing in subsequent years to finish at $6.85 billion in 2024, reflecting the variances in liquid and short-term items.

- Long-term Assets
- Long-term assets overall display substantial growth from $13.57 billion in 2019 to $24.49 billion in 2024, driven primarily by increases in property, plant and equipment and operating lease assets.

In summary, the data highlights a period of growth in total assets punctuated by a dip in 2022. The growth is supported primarily by increases in long-term fixed assets and lease-related assets.

Intangible assets and goodwill show a decreasing trend after initial growth, which may reflect amortization or impairment actions. The steady rise in accounts receivable and property assets suggests expansion activity and increased operational scale during the period analyzed.
