- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets fluctuated over the analyzed period. It experienced a notable peak of 5.26% in September 2016 but generally remained below 2.7%. From early 2019 to early 2020, a modest upward trend is observed, rising from 0.8% in March 2019 to 2.64% in December 2019 before decreasing again to 1.13% in March 2020.
- Marketable Securities
- This item exhibited significant volatility. Early periods showed negligible proportions until a sharp increase to 13.81% in September 2016, followed by a steady decline toward early 2018. Subsequently, the values remained generally low with some oscillations, ending at 1.83% in March 2020. This indicates a spike in investments in marketable securities around late 2016, with lower emphasis in other periods.
- Accounts Receivable (Net)
- Accounts receivable as a percentage of total assets showed moderate fluctuations but a general upward trend from 1.5% in September 2015 to above 3.0% during 2019, reaching 3.37% in September 2019 before slightly decreasing to 3.17% in March 2020. This suggests a gradual increase in credit sales or collection times over the time span.
- Inventories
- Inventories maintained relatively low levels, generally under 2%. Initial values were around 2.24% in early 2015, dipping below 1% through much of 2015 and 2016, then steadily increasing from 0.96% in March 2019 to 1.36% in March 2020. This reflects a cautious build-up of inventory levels in the more recent periods.
- Current Assets Held for Sale
- This category showed concentration primarily between mid-2015 and mid-2016, with values peaking above 3% and then declining sharply to near zero afterward, indicating possible divestitures or asset reclassifications during that timeframe.
- Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
- The percentage for prepaid expenses and other current assets fluctuated between 0.4% and 2.6%, with a pronounced spike to 2.63% in June 2019 before normalizing around 1% towards March 2020, suggesting episodic increases in advance payments or similar assets.
- Deferred Tax Assets (Current and Non-current)
- Deferred tax assets exhibited volatility, with an early spike up to 4.63% in September 2015 (likely current assets). Non-current deferred tax assets showed a progressive increase from 0.07% in March 2015 to a peak of 1.05% in March 2019, followed by a slight decline, indicating increasing recognition of tax benefits over time.
- Current Assets Overall
- The proportion of current assets markedly peaked at 22.09% in September 2016, primarily due to spikes in marketable securities and current assets held for sale. Apart from this anomaly, the current asset ratio generally ranged between 5.3% and 12%, with a rising trend observed from mid-2018 onward towards 11.75% in December 2019, before declining to 8.45% in March 2020.
- Property, Plant and Equipment (Net)
- This asset category demonstrated a gradual but steady increase from just above 2% in early 2015 to 2.17% by March 2020, reflecting ongoing capital investment or asset revaluation.
- Right of Use Asset, Operating Leases
- This item appears only in the final quarters, showing a small but increasing presence from 0.46% in March 2019 to 0.54% in March 2020, indicative of adoption of new leasing standards or growing lease commitments.
- Investments and Other Assets
- A generally low and stable proportion was recorded in the initial years, between 0.22% and 0.38%. There was a notable spike to 1.94% and 2.02% in late 2018, followed by reversion to sub-0.5% levels, suggesting transient investment activities or asset reclassification in late 2018.
- Non-current Assets Held for Sale
- Values peaked around 7.8% from late 2015 to mid-2016 with a steep decline afterward to below 1%, indicating disposal or reclassification of long-term assets during the peak period and stabilization thereafter.
- Product Rights and Other Intangibles
- This category constitutes the largest asset portion, consistently ranging between 40% and 53%. A downward trend is evident over the entire period, from 53.21% in March 2015 to approximately 41% in early 2020, signaling amortization or impairment of intangible assets or asset base shifts.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill increased steadily from approximately 36% in early 2015 to nearly 47% by March 2020, indicating acquisitions or valuation adjustments contributing to increased intangible goodwill assets over time.
- Non-current Assets Overall
- The proportion of non-current assets remained dominant, fluctuating mostly between 88% and 94%, with a dip to 77.91% in September 2016 coinciding with spikes in current assets held for sale and marketable securities. The overall trend denotes a stable long-term asset base with occasional fluctuations tied to asset disposals or reclassifications.
- Total Assets Composition
- Throughout the period, the total assets percentage remained consistent at 100%, confirming the proportional analysis of all discussed asset categories relative to the entire asset base.
