The asset structure of the company underwent a fundamental transformation between 2015 and 2022, characterized by a massive expansion of the balance sheet primarily driven by a significant acquisition event in late 2017.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Cash and equivalents exhibited extreme volatility during the 2017 period, spiking from 548 million USD in March 2017 to over 14 billion USD by September 2017, before returning to baseline levels of approximately 1.1 billion USD by December 2017. Post-2019, a gradual increase in liquidity is observed, with cash balances stabilizing between 2 billion and 3.7 billion USD through March 2022. Total current assets grew from 5.6 billion USD in 2015 to 10.1 billion USD by early 2022, reflecting a broader increase in operational scale.
Working Capital Management
There is a consistent upward trend in trade receivables and inventories. Trade receivables increased from 1.5 billion USD in 2015 to 2.3 billion USD in 2022. Inventories showed a more pronounced climb, rising from 1.9 billion USD in 2015 to 3.2 billion USD by March 2022. This growth is largely concentrated in finished products, which increased from 1.3 billion USD to 2.1 billion USD over the period, suggesting expanded production capacity or shifts in inventory buffering strategies.
Non-Current Asset Expansion
The most significant change in the asset base occurred in the fourth quarter of 2017, where goodwill surged from 7.5 billion USD to 22.7 billion USD and intangible assets jumped from 5.8 billion USD to 18.6 billion USD. This event shifted the total asset base from approximately 24 billion USD to over 55 billion USD. Following this acquisition, goodwill remained relatively stable, while intangible assets, specifically developed technology and customer relationships, experienced a steady decline due to amortization, falling to 12.2 billion USD by March 2022.
Capital Investment and Fixed Assets
Net property, plant, and equipment demonstrated steady, incremental growth, rising from 3.9 billion USD in 2015 to 6.4 billion USD in 2022. This indicates a consistent commitment to capital expenditure and the expansion of physical infrastructure to support growing operations, independent of the major acquisition event.
Total Asset Composition
Total assets expanded from 26 billion USD in late 2015 to 54.7 billion USD by March 2022. The composition shifted heavily toward non-current assets, which now represent the vast majority of the balance sheet, primarily in the form of goodwill and intangible assets stemming from the 2017 expansion.
