Cash and cash equivalents
The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets fluctuated over the period. Initially, it ranged from approximately 2.74% to 3.07%, followed by a decline to below 2% in early 2019. A marked increase occurred in mid-2020, peaking at over 12%, before gradually declining again to stabilize around 1.7-1.9% in late 2022 and 2023.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable as a percentage of total assets showed minor fluctuations. It hovered mostly between 2.6% and 3.3%, with slight increases observed from early 2022 through 2023, suggesting a modest growth in credit extended to customers or slower collections during this period.
Merchandise inventories
This category experienced a notable decrease from a high of approximately 44% in early 2019 to a low near 31% by late 2020. Subsequently, inventories gradually increased, reaching about 36% by late 2023. This trend indicates a contraction followed by rebuilding of inventory levels over the examined periods.
Other current assets
The share of other current assets remained relatively stable around 1.3% to 2.3%, with slight increases toward the end of the period, peaking at 2.38% in late 2023. This suggests minor growth in miscellaneous current assets over time.
Current assets
Total current assets, as a percentage of total assets, initially ranged just above 50%, but declined sharply in late 2019 and early 2020, dropping to around 40%. This was followed by a recovery to about 47% in late 2020. Over subsequent periods, current assets stabilized around 42-44%, indicating a modest reduction in short-term asset allocation.
Property and equipment
The gross property and equipment percentage displayed a steady increase from about 74% to a peak near 78% by 2018, followed by a significant reduction to approximately 56% by late 2020. Afterward, it exhibited a gradual increase again up to nearly 65% by the end of 2023, indicating fluctuations in capital asset investment or revaluation impacts.
Accumulated depreciation and amortization
Accumulated depreciation as a percentage of total assets increased steadily from roughly -30.8% to about -33.5% until 2019, then sharply decreased to around -25% by late 2020. Subsequently, it moved between -26% to -30%, suggesting changes in asset aging or depreciation policies affecting net property values.
Net property and equipment
Property and equipment net of accumulated depreciation generally declined from 43% to 31% between 2017 and 2020, then climbed to approximately 35% by late 2023. The trend reflects the combined effect of asset purchases, disposals, and depreciation over time.
Operating lease right-of-use assets
Data for right-of-use assets appeared from late 2019 and remained relatively stable around 18-20%, reflecting the recognition of lease-related assets following updated accounting standards on leases.
Goodwill
The goodwill percentage steadily decreased from over 4% in 2017 to below 2% by 2023, indicating amortization, impairment, or absence of new acquisitions contributing goodwill on the balance sheet.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred tax assets remained low throughout, fluctuating between roughly 0.18% and 0.54%, with a slight upward trend in the most recent periods, possibly indicating increased timing differences or tax credit utilization.
Other long-term assets
The proportion of other long-term assets showed minimal variation, generally holding between 1.3% and 2.1%, suggesting stability in miscellaneous long-term investments or assets.
Long-term assets
Overall long-term assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from about 50% in 2017 to around 48% in 2019, then increased sharply to nearly 60% during 2019-2020, followed by consistent maintenance between 55% and 58% through 2023. This pattern indicates restructuring between current and long-term asset classifications or acquisitions affecting balance sheet structure.
Total assets
The total assets sum is consistently 100%, serving as the base for relative asset composition analysis.
