Cash and cash equivalents
The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets exhibits moderate volatility over the periods. Initially at 9.16% in March 2018, the value declined, reaching a minimum near 3.9% in September 2019. Subsequently, it recovered gradually, reaching around 9.7% in December 2022, then slightly decreasing to 9.03% in March 2023. This reflects fluctuations in liquid asset holdings with some recovery in recent periods.
Trade accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts
Trade receivables as a percentage of total assets remained relatively stable initially, fluctuating between 7.36% and 8.03% from early 2018 through mid-2019. However, a notable decline occurred from late 2019 through mid-2021, dropping to a low of 4.22%. Since then, there has been a consistent increase, returning to approximately 7.7% by March 2023, indicating a recovery in receivables relative to asset size.
Other accounts receivable
This component remained fairly low and stable throughout the periods, generally hovering under 1.3%. A slight uptick is observed in the last two periods, rising to 1.78% by March 2023, suggesting a marginal increase in miscellaneous receivables.
Inventories
Inventories as a percentage of total assets showed a gradual upward trend, beginning near 8.82% in early 2018 and increasing steadily to 18.11% by March 2023. This notable increase suggests growing inventory levels relative to asset base, possibly indicating expansion in stock holdings or slower inventory turnover.
Other current assets
The proportion of other current assets remained relatively consistent, generally around 1%, with minor fluctuations. Values ranged from 0.54% to 1.65%, showing no significant trend over the observed periods.
Current assets
Current assets registered a decreasing trend from the high 20% range into 18.3% by the end of 2021, followed by a substantial increase starting in 2022, reaching 37.9% by March 2023. This indicates a shift towards higher current asset holdings after a period of relative contraction.
Property, plant and equipment, at cost
Property, plant, and equipment (PPE) as a portion of total assets generally rose from 56.21% in early 2018 to a peak near 73.58% at the end of 2021. Afterward, a steady decline occurred, dropping to 55.97% by the first quarter of 2023. The initial increase indicates investment in fixed assets, while the later decrease may reflect asset disposals or reallocations.
Accumulated depreciation and amortization
Accumulated depreciation remained consistently negative, as expected, ranging from -15.47% to -23.45%. Notably, the magnitude of accumulated depreciation lessened after 2019, indicating slower accumulation relative to total assets, possibly due to disposal of older assets or changes in asset base.
Net property, plant and equipment
The net PPE, reflecting the cost less accumulated depreciation, increased steadily, starting from 34% in March 2018 and peaking at 53.85% in December 2021. A subsequent decline occurred, with net PPE falling to 41.87% by March 2023, consistent with the trends in gross PPE and accumulated depreciation.
Investments
Investments as a percentage of total assets remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations, generally between 5.5% and 8.4%. There was a modest increase noted around 2021, but no significant long-term trend is observable.
Other assets
Other assets constituted a small portion of total assets, fluctuating slightly between 1% and 2.7%. The data shows minor variation with no clear directional trend across the periods.
Goodwill
Goodwill as a proportion of total assets declined steadily over the periods, decreasing from 21.75% in early 2018 to 9.3% by March 2023. This considerable reduction may be due to amortization, impairment, or divestitures affecting intangible asset values.
Other intangibles, net of amortization
Other intangible assets also displayed a downward trend, sliding from 5.69% in March 2018 to 1.62% in March 2023. The continuous decline aligns with the decrease in goodwill, reinforcing a reduction in intangible asset bases.
Noncurrent assets
Noncurrent assets as a percentage of total assets initially rose from 71.43% in early 2018 to over 81% by the end of 2021, indicating increased investment in long-term assets. Subsequently, a decline followed, decreasing to 62.1% by March 2023, reflecting asset reallocation towards current assets or disposals.
Total assets
The total assets serve as the baseline at 100% throughout the periods for comparative purposes.
