The asset structure of the organization is characterized by a heavy concentration in long-term assets, which consistently represent between 73% and 85% of total assets. Over the analyzed period from early 2018 to early 2023, there is a general transition toward a more non-current asset-heavy balance sheet, with current assets declining from 21.25% to 17.34% of total assets.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Cash and cash equivalents remained minimal, generally hovering around 1% of total assets, with a notable exception between June 2020 and December 2021. During this period, cash holdings peaked at 8.58% in June 2021, suggesting a strategic accumulation of liquidity or a response to macroeconomic volatility before returning to levels below 2% by March 2023.
Trade accounts receivable showed a gradual downward trajectory, decreasing from 8.23% in March 2018 to 6.31% by March 2023, indicating a shift in the proportion of capital tied up in outstanding customer payments relative to total assets.
Inventory levels remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between 4.39% and 6.23%, suggesting a consistent approach to inventory management relative to the overall growth of the asset base.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill Analysis
Goodwill constitutes a primary component of the total asset base. After some fluctuation between 2018 and 2020, goodwill increased from approximately 32% to over 40% by 2022, reflecting a growing reliance on acquired synergies and strategic acquisitions.
Other intangible assets, net, exhibited a significant and steady decline, falling from 29.75% in March 2018 to 18.42% in March 2023. This downward trend is characteristic of the systematic amortization of intangible assets over time.
Fixed Assets and Other Long-Term Items
Property, plant, and equipment, net, remained stable, marginally decreasing from 8.85% in 2018 to 7.53% in 2023, indicating that capital expenditures on physical infrastructure have kept pace with or slightly lagged behind the overall expansion of the balance sheet.
A significant structural change occurred in December 2019 with the appearance of deferred tax assets, which subsequently stabilized as a substantial component of the balance sheet, representing between 11.86% and 13.82% of total assets through March 2023.
