- Current Assets
- Current assets fluctuated over the reported periods, starting at approximately $3.45 billion in 2005. There was a slight increase in 2006 followed by a decrease in 2007. A notable rise occurred in 2008, peaking around $4.75 billion, before slightly declining through 2011. From 2012 onwards, current assets increased significantly, reaching nearly $9.7 billion in 2014, and then slightly decreasing again but remaining elevated above $8 billion by 2016.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities exhibited a generally upward trend from 2005 to 2007, increasing from approximately $1.2 billion to $2.3 billion. In 2008, there was a decline, and liabilities then stabilized around $1.6 billion through 2010. Another decline occurred in 2011, with liabilities remaining relatively stable near $1.3 billion through 2013. A significant spike in 2014 to over $4.5 billion was observed, followed by a return to a lower level around $1.3 billion for 2015 and 2016.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio showed considerable variability across the years. It declined from 2.86 in 2005 to 1.41 in 2007, indicating a reduction in liquidity during that period. Subsequently, the ratio recovered strongly, reaching 2.78 in 2008 and maintaining a range around 2.67 to 2.86 through 2011. From 2012 onwards, the current ratio increased substantially, peaking at 6.31 in 2016. This indicates a marked improvement in short-term liquidity and the ability to cover current liabilities with current assets over the latter years.
- Summary of Trends and Insights
- Over the reviewed period, the company experienced notable fluctuations in both current assets and liabilities. After an initial period of instability through 2007, assets displayed a robust upward trend beginning in 2012, coinciding with a significant improvement in liquidity ratios. The spike in current liabilities in 2014 appears to be an anomaly relative to adjacent years, possibly due to one-time or extraordinary events, but was quickly normalized. The current ratio’s strong increase in the latter years suggests enhanced short-term financial health, with assets increasingly exceeding liabilities, thereby potentially improving the company's operational flexibility and risk position.
