Cash and cash equivalents
There is a fluctuating trend in cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets. The percentage decreased consistently from 33.32% in 2020 to a low of 20.6% in 2023, before rising sharply to 31.64% in 2024 and declining again to 26.1% in 2025.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable exhibits a gradual increase from 1.23% in 2020 to a peak of 2.37% in 2023, followed by a decrease to 1.58% in 2025. This suggests a temporary build-up of receivables around 2023, then a normalization thereafter.
Inventories
Inventories have notably increased over the period, from 15.8% in 2020 to a peak of 25.81% in 2023, before dropping considerably to 18.66% in 2024 and stabilizing near 19% in 2025. This indicates a significant inventory accumulation by 2023, potentially followed by improved inventory management.
Prepaid and receivable income taxes
The ratio oscillates moderately between 2.4% and 3.32% without a clear trend, suggesting relatively stable prepaid tax-related assets as a percentage of total assets.
Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses remain relatively stable around 2%, with a minor peak of 2.85% in 2022, followed by a slight decline and stabilization around 1.9% in the last two years.
Forward currency contract assets
There is an increase in forward currency contract assets in 2025 to 1.01% after low and stable values below 0.5% in prior years, possibly reflecting increased hedging activities or currency exposure.
Other current assets
Other current assets increase from 0.13% in 2020 to 1.43% in 2023, then decline to 0.35% in 2025. This pattern indicates variability in less significant current asset categories.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
This combined category shows growth from 2.15% in 2020 to 4.26% in 2023, then a sharp decline to 2.6% in 2024 and a slight increase to 3.31% in 2025, mirroring the trends in underlying components.
Current assets
Current assets as a whole show a moderate decline from 55.1% in 2020 to 50.76% in 2021, then rise steadily to 57.26% in 2024 before decreasing again to 52.35% in 2025. This reflects shifting asset allocations between current and non-current categories.
Property and equipment, net
Net property and equipment increase from 20.47% in 2020 to 23.42% in 2025, with a dip in 2021 but otherwise showing an upward trend indicative of capital investment and fixed asset growth.
Right-of-use operating lease assets
Lease assets decline from 21.02% in 2020 to 16.26% in 2022, then gradually increase to 18.63% by 2025, suggesting changes in leasing arrangements and possibly lease renewals or additions.
Goodwill
Goodwill shows a significant increase from under 1% in 2020 to a peak of 9.24% in 2021, then a sharp reduction to under 1% in 2023, before rising again to 2.1% in 2025, indicating substantial acquisition activity in 2021 followed by impairment or divestiture and some later accumulation.
Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets peak at 1.91% in 2021, followed by a decline to 0.15% in 2025, implying amortization or disposals over time with limited reinvestment.
Deferred income tax assets
Deferred income tax assets are relatively minor and stable, fluctuating between 0.11% and 0.96%, with a clear decline after 2020 and a slight recovery towards 2025.
Cloud computing arrangement implementation costs
These costs increase moderately from 0.75% in 2020 to 2.13% in 2025, reflecting growing investments in cloud infrastructure or related technology.
Security deposits
Security deposits remain stable, fluctuating slightly around 0.5%, with no notable trend.
Other
The 'Other' asset category remains very low and fairly stable, around 0.2% to 0.4% of total assets.
Other non-current assets
Other non-current assets gradually increase from 1.71% in 2020 to 3.13% in 2025, indicating some growth in less prominent long-term asset accounts.
Non-current assets
Non-current assets as a percentage of total assets increased from 44.9% in 2020 to over 49% in 2021, then dipped to a low of 42.74% in 2024 before climbing back to 47.65% in 2025. This demonstrates variable investment and asset management strategies over the period with an overall stable long-term asset base.
Total assets
Remain constant at 100% by definition across all years, serving as the base for relative analysis of other components.
