Balance Sheet: Assets
Quarterly Data
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.

- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The cash position demonstrated notable volatility, with a significant increase from late 2019 through mid-2021, peaking at around 10 billion USD in May 2021. Subsequently, cash declined sharply during late 2021 and early 2022. Following this decline, the cash balance gradually rose again, crossing 11 billion USD by the last reported quarter in 2025, indicating improved liquidity towards the end of the period analyzed.
- Short-term Investments
- Short-term investments remained relatively stable throughout the period, fluctuating mostly between 3,000 and 9,000 USD in thousands. There were no marked spikes or dips, suggesting a consistent and low-risk investment approach in the short-term asset portfolio.
- Receivables and Contract Assets
- This item showed a steady upward trajectory, increasing from approximately 8.6 billion USD at the end of 2019 to over 15 billion USD by mid-2025, which suggests expanding business operations and possibly increasing sales on credit terms. There was a slight dip observable in some quarters, but the overall trend was strongly positive.
- Other Current Assets
- Other current assets grew moderately over the analyzed period, rising from about 1.2 billion USD to around 2.4 billion USD, with some fluctuation. This increase could be indicative of growing short-term assets aside from receivables and cash, possibly including prepaid expenses or short-term deposits.
- Current Assets
- The aggregate of current assets grew consistently, from roughly 15.6 billion USD at the start to nearly 29 billion USD by the latest quarter. This reflects an overall robust increase in liquidity and short-term assets, supporting operational flexibility and potential for short-term obligations coverage.
- Contract Assets
- Contract assets depicted moderate growth, starting around 58 million USD and increasing to approximately 180 million USD. This trend suggests an increasing volume of contractual obligations yet to be invoiced or collected, consistent with expanding contract-based revenue streams.
- Investments
- Investments exhibited considerable growth, especially noticeable after early 2023, where the value jumped from modest figures to over 700 million USD by mid-2025. This points to a strategic build-up in longer-term investment holdings, reflecting a shift towards strengthened investment portfolios.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- The net value of property and equipment was relatively stable, fluctuating around 1.4 to 1.6 billion USD. While minor decreases occurred in parts of the period, the asset base for physical long-term assets remained steady, indicating stable investment in tangible fixed assets.
- Operating Lease Assets
- Operating lease assets showed a declining trend from the initial 3.15 billion USD to a low near 2.6 billion USD before recovering slightly towards the end. This pattern may reflect changes in lease agreements or shifts in leasing strategy over time.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill increased substantially from 6.3 billion USD in late 2019 to over 22.5 billion USD by mid-2025, evidencing notable acquisitions or business combinations that have expanded intangible asset value considerably.
- Deferred Contract Costs
- Deferred contract costs experienced gradual growth, climbing from about 690 million USD to over 1 billion USD. This increase corresponds with growing investments in contract-related expenses that are being amortized over the term of the contracts.
- Deferred Tax Assets
- Deferred tax assets remained roughly stable, with minor fluctuations around 4 billion USD. This suggests consistent tax-related timing differences and the company’s ability to realize tax benefits in the future.
- Intangibles
- Intangible assets data was missing for earlier periods but showed a declining trend from nearly 2.7 billion USD to about 2.4 billion USD towards the end of the period examined, suggesting amortization or impairment over the timeframe.
- Other Non-current Assets
- Other non-current assets displayed irregular fluctuations, initially rising from approximately 1.4 billion USD to over 3.6 billion USD before descending sharply and then gradually increasing again, indicating possible reclassifications or divestitures followed by reinvestments.
- Non-current Assets
- The total non-current asset base grew steadily from about 17.5 billion USD to nearly 36.5 billion USD, driven by increases in goodwill, investments, and other long-term assets. This signals sustained investment in long-term resources and possible expansion initiatives.
- Total Assets
- Total assets increased consistently over the examined period, from approximately 33 billion USD to nearly 65.4 billion USD. This significant asset growth illustrates the overall expansion of the company’s scale and resource base, supporting larger operations and potential future growth.
