Synopsys Inc., common-size consolidated balance sheet: assets
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2025-10-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-10-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-10-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-10-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-10-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-10-31).
The composition of assets exhibited significant shifts over the observed period. Current assets demonstrated a notable increase in 2024, followed by a substantial decline in 2025, while long-term assets followed an inverse pattern. Within both current and long-term asset categories, specific components experienced considerable fluctuations.
- Liquidity and Cash Position
- Cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets initially fluctuated between 15.39% and 16.37% before decreasing to 13.93% in 2023. A dramatic increase to 29.80% occurred in 2024, followed by a sharp decline to 5.99% in 2025. Short-term investments mirrored this trend, albeit on a smaller scale, diminishing to a minimal 0.15% of total assets by 2025. Consequently, the combined percentage of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments showed a similar pattern of increase in 2024 and decrease in 2025.
- Current Asset Composition
- Accounts receivable, net, decreased from 9.72% in 2020 to 6.50% in 2021, then increased to 9.16% in 2023 before falling to 3.12% in 2025. Inventories remained relatively stable between 2.40% and 3.15% before a significant decrease to 0.76% in 2025. Prepaid and other current assets consistently increased, reaching 8.59% in 2024 before decreasing to 2.45% in 2025. These shifts contributed to an overall increase in current assets to 49.49% in 2024, followed by a substantial decrease to 12.47% in 2025.
- Long-Term Asset Trends
- Property and equipment, net, and operating lease right-of-use assets, net, both exhibited a gradual decline as percentages of total assets throughout the period, ending at 1.44% and 1.46% respectively in 2025. Goodwill represented the largest portion of long-term assets, consistently above 39% until 2024, when it decreased to 26.38% and then increased substantially to 55.78% in 2025. Intangible assets, net, showed a similar pattern, increasing to 4.10% in 2022 before decreasing to 1.49% in 2024 and then rising dramatically to 26.29% in 2025. Deferred income taxes increased from 6.20% to 9.54% over the period, while other long-term assets remained relatively stable. The combined effect of these changes resulted in a decrease in long-term assets to 50.51% in 2024, followed by a significant increase to 87.53% in 2025.
The substantial changes observed in 2024 and 2025 suggest a potential strategic shift in asset allocation, with a notable movement from current assets to long-term assets, particularly goodwill and intangible assets. The large fluctuations in cash and cash equivalents warrant further investigation to understand the underlying reasons for these changes.
