Cash and cash equivalents
Over the observed periods, cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets experienced fluctuations. Beginning with moderate values around 10-16%, it peaked at 21.69% in April 2022 before entering a consistent downward trend, declining to a low of 5.65% by April 2025. This indicates a reduced liquidity buffer relative to total assets in recent quarters.
Marketable securities
This category showed an overall increasing trend, starting near 19% and gradually rising to over 40% of total assets by April 2025. The steady growth implies a strategic shift toward maintaining a larger portion of assets in marketable securities, potentially enhancing liquidity and investment returns.
Trade and other receivables, net
The percentage of trade and other receivables generally fluctuated between approximately 7% and 12%, with no clear persistent upward or downward trend. Several peaks and troughs suggest volatility, possibly reflecting variations in sales or collection efficiency.
Deferred costs, current
Current deferred costs remained relatively stable across all periods, consistently hovering around 1.3% to 1.6% of total assets, indicating consistent prepayments or costs recognized in future periods without significant variation.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
This segment showed some variability but was generally maintained between 1.3% and 2.5% of total assets. Notable peaks and dips were identified, but no definitive trend emerged.
Current assets
Current assets percentage demonstrated a range generally between 45% and 61%, with growth seen from mid-2020 through early 2023, peaking at 61.57%, before a gradual decline to approximately 57.88% by April 2025. This suggests a fluctuating yet generally strong emphasis on current asset holdings.
Property and equipment, net
A steady decline is evident in this item, reducing from over 15% down to approximately 6.6% by April 2025. This decline suggests a reduction in capital-intensive assets or possible shifts towards less reliance on physical assets.
Operating lease right-of-use assets
There is a gradual decrease from near 5% to around 2%, indicating lower reliance on leased assets or changes in lease accounting treatments over time.
Deferred costs, noncurrent
This component remained relatively stable near 3% of total assets, reflecting consistent levels of long-term deferred costs without significant volatility.
Acquisition-related intangible assets, net
This category shows a decreasing trend, starting around 5%, falling to below 2% at points, and then stabilizing near 2%. This decline could reflect amortization or impairment of intangible assets related to past acquisitions.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets data is sporadic but shows a presence in the latter periods at a range roughly between 5.7% and 6.6%. This inclusion may reflect changing tax positions or timing differences recognized on the balance sheet.
Goodwill
Goodwill as a percentage of total assets declined over time from approximately 24% to around 20%, with some variation. The decreasing trend may be due to impairment charges, divestitures, or growth of other asset categories diluting goodwill's relative weight.
Other assets
Other assets remained fairly stable, occupying a narrow band between about 2% and 3%, contributing a minor but steady portion of total assets.
Noncurrent assets
Noncurrent assets decreased as a percentage of total assets, from more than 54% in earlier periods to around 42% by April 2025. This reflects a gradual shift towards a greater composition of current assets in total asset structure.
