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: Cash and cash equivalents display a generally increasing trend over the period, growing from approximately 4.36 billion US dollars in late 2018 to over 9.63 billion by mid-2025. There are notable peaks in August 2020 and May 2021, followed by a decline in late 2021, but the overall trajectory remains upward with some volatility in the later quarters.
Short-term Investments: Short-term investments are relatively stable and low in value compared to other assets, fluctuating between approximately 3,000 to 94,000 thousand US dollars. An exceptional spike appears in August 2020 with a significant increase to over 94,000 thousand, followed by a return to lower levels in subsequent periods, indicating a possible short-term investment repositioning.
Receivables and Contract Assets: Receivables and contract assets exhibit a steady rising trend from around 8 billion US dollars to over 15 billion by mid-2025. Growth is consistent with only minor fluctuations, implying increasing sales or contractual revenues receivable over time.
Other Current Assets: The line for other current assets shows moderate growth from about 1.15 billion to roughly 2.68 billion US dollars, despite some short-term decreases. The asset category experiences notable increases around early to mid-2022 and again towards 2025, indicating enhanced liquidity in other less specified current asset accounts.
Current Assets: Current assets overall increase steadily from approximately 13.5 billion to over 27.4 billion US dollars. There is a temporary dip in late 2021 to early 2023 before robust recovery and acceleration into 2024 and 2025, mirroring the growth patterns seen in cash, receivables, and other current asset categories.
Contract Assets: Contract assets show variability but generally increase over time, starting from about 26 million and climbing to over 161 million by mid-2025. This increase is accompanied by some quarter-to-quarter volatility, reflecting fluctuations in unbilled revenues or partially completed contracts.
Investments: Investments experience modest increases early on, with a significant surge from around 176 million up to nearly 594 million by mid-2025. These jumps suggest increased strategic investment activities or acquisitions in recent periods.
Property and Equipment, Net: Net property and equipment values grow gradually from 1.24 billion to over 1.61 billion, peaking mid-2025. The steady increases indicate ongoing capital expenditure in fixed assets, though with some periods of slight decline or stagnation.
Operating Lease Assets: Available data from mid-2019 onward reveal stable but slightly declining operating lease assets, decreasing from approximately 3.15 billion to about 2.7 billion by mid-2025, potentially reflecting changes in leasing strategy or asset disposals.
Goodwill: Goodwill steadily climbs from 5.52 billion in late 2018 to over 21.8 billion by mid-2025, with sharper increases noted from 2020 onward. This pattern suggests multiple acquisitions or increased consolidation activities augmenting intangible asset recognition.
Deferred Contract Costs: Deferred contract costs remain relatively stable with gradual growth from around 700 million to nearly 985 million by mid-2025. This steady rise is consistent with increasing contract-based business and associated advancements in contract-related capitalized costs.
Deferred Tax Assets: Deferred tax assets are generally stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between approximately 3.9 billion and 4.2 billion, showing no meaningful upward or downward trend, implying consistent tax planning and asset recognition policies.
Intangibles: Intangible assets, although missing for earlier periods, are reported from early 2024 onwards, starting at about 2.75 billion and slightly decreasing to 2.59 billion approaching mid-2025, which may point to amortization or impairment activity in this category.
Other Non-current Assets: Other non-current assets present fluctuations with an initial increase, peaking over 2.8 billion around early 2023, followed by a sharp drop to about 1.17 billion in early 2024 and a subsequent gradual increase to 2.67 billion by mid-2025. The volatility could indicate reclassifications or asset disposals during these periods.
Non-current Assets: Non-current assets show steady growth, rising from approximately 13.2 billion to nearly 36 billion over the observation period. A notable acceleration occurs after late 2022, consistent with the increases in goodwill, investments, and property and equipment, revealing significant long-term asset accumulation.
Total Assets: Total assets increase steadily from about 26.7 billion to over 63.3 billion US dollars. The growth is smooth with minor decelerations, indicative of sustained expansion in overall asset base driven by increases in both current and non-current assets throughout the period.
