Balance Sheet: Assets

The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.

Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Property and Equipment, Net: This asset class showed steady growth from 959 million USD in 2020 to about 1.23 billion USD in 2024, reflecting ongoing investment or asset valuation increases.
Goodwill: Goodwill remained relatively stable, around 1 billion USD, with a slight increase in 2022.
