| Inventories |
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2026-02-01), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-02-02), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-01-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-01-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-01-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-01-31).
The value of inventories, at cost, exhibited a generally increasing trend from 2021 to 2026. However, this increase was not linear, with a notable decrease observed between 2023 and 2024. Inventory provisions and reserves also increased over the period, though with fluctuations, and consistently represent a significant offset to the cost of inventories.
- Overall Inventory Value
- The reported inventory value increased from US$647.23 million in 2021 to US$1,700.75 million in 2026. The most substantial increase occurred between 2021 and 2023, growing from US$647.23 million to US$1,447.37 million. A decrease of approximately 8.5% was noted between 2023 and 2024, followed by a modest increase in 2025, and then a further increase to US$1,700.75 million in 2026.
- Inventory Provisions and Reserves
- Inventory provisions and reserves have consistently reduced the reported inventory value. These reserves increased from US$30.97 million in 2021 to US$141.47 million in 2024, indicating a growing need to account for potential obsolescence or lower realizable value. A significant reduction in these provisions was observed in 2025, decreasing to US$83.97 million, but increased slightly again in 2026 to US$88.82 million. The magnitude of these provisions represents a substantial portion of the total inventory value, particularly in 2024.
- Cost of Inventories vs. Net Inventories
- The difference between inventories at cost and the reported inventories demonstrates the impact of the provisions and reserves. While inventories at cost increased overall, the net inventory value, after accounting for provisions, shows a more moderate growth pattern. The increasing provisions suggest a potential challenge in managing inventory levels or a shift in product mix towards items with a higher risk of obsolescence. The decrease in net inventory from 2023 to 2024 is more pronounced than the decrease in cost of inventories, highlighting the impact of increased provisions during that period.
The fluctuations in both inventory levels and associated provisions warrant further investigation to understand the underlying drivers. The increase in provisions, particularly in 2023 and 2024, could indicate challenges in demand forecasting, supply chain disruptions, or changes in product lifecycle management.
