Cash and cash equivalents
The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets experienced a slight fluctuation over the analyzed period. Beginning at 12.28% in 2020, it increased to 12.79% in 2021, then declined notably to 9.42% in 2022. It showed some recovery in 2023 to 12.05%, followed by a modest decrease to 11.17% in 2024, indicating a somewhat variable liquidity position.
Marketable debt securities
This asset category exhibits volatility, peaking at 2.73% in 2021 from 1.08% in 2020 but dropping sharply to 0.13% in 2022. It then partially recovered to 0.86% in 2023 before declining again to 0.55% in 2024. This suggests sporadic adjustment in short-term investment allocations.
Net trade receivables and Receivables
Receivables demonstrate a consistent upward trend. Net trade receivables rose steadily from 6.09% in 2020 to 9.73% in 2024, while total receivables increased from 7.17% to 11.61% across the same timeframe. This indicates a growing amount of credit sales or extended payment terms, contributing to a higher asset base in receivables.
Alliance, royalties, VAT and other
This component grew from 1.08% in 2020 to a peak of 2.14% in 2023, slightly decreasing to 1.87% in 2024. It suggests a rising contribution from these income streams or related assets over the years, although slightly tapering off in the latest year.
Inventories
Inventories increased from 1.75% in 2020 to 2.80% in 2023, with a marginal decline to 2.76% in 2024. Such growth may reflect inventory buildup in anticipation of higher sales or production demands, with stabilization in the most recent year.
Income taxes
The proportion of assets classified under income taxes rose considerably from 1.52% in 2020 to a peak of 4.13% in 2023, followed by a decline to 3.55% in 2024. This sharp increase may be indicative of deferred tax assets or prepayments growing over time before easing slightly.
Research and development
Research and development assets increased from 0.42% in 2020 to 0.81% in 2024, with gradual rises each year. This upward trend aligns with continued investment in innovation and product development. The non-current R&D assets fluctuated somewhat but remained comparatively lower.
Contract assets
The presence of contract assets rose from 0.21% in 2020 to a peak of 0.52% in 2022, then declined to 0.42% by 2024, suggesting varying stages of progress billings or unbilled receivables related to contractual arrangements.
Equity investments
Equity investments as a percentage of total assets decreased from 3.44% in 2020 to 1.87% in 2024, indicating a gradual divestment or reallocation away from these long-term holdings.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash relative to total assets was minimal throughout, peaking at 0.15% in 2022 and then declining to negligible levels by 2024, reflecting limited constraints on cash usage in recent periods.
Other current assets
Other current assets showed a consistent increase from 3.20% to 6.07% over the period, which, together with increases in receivables and inventories, contributed to the overall growth of current assets to a peak of 33.39% in 2023 and slightly declining to 32.16% in 2024.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment steadily increased from 4.97% in 2020 to 7.71% in 2024, indicating expansion or reinvestment in fixed assets supporting operations or production capacity.
Goodwill
Goodwill showed a continuous upward trend, rising from 17.34% in 2020 to 23.45% in 2024, reflecting acquisitions or business combinations that may have occurred, thereby impacting the intangible asset base significantly.
Other intangible assets
There was a marked decrease in other intangible assets from 44.94% in 2020 to 25.17% in 2024, suggesting amortization, impairment, or reclassification of these assets. The shift reflects a significant contraction in this asset category, altering the composition of intangible assets.
Deferred income taxes
Deferred income taxes increased markedly from 0.98% in 2020 to 4.57% in 2024, indicating a growing recognition of future tax benefits or timing differences in tax accounting and asset valuation.
Operating lease right-of-use assets
The right-of-use assets rose from 0.73% in 2020 to 1.46% in 2023 and slightly declined to 1.32% in 2024, reflecting leasing arrangements affecting the asset base, likely aligned with implementation of lease accounting standards.
Pension and postretirement
The pension and postretirement asset proportion remained low and stable, fluctuating minimally between 0.18% and 0.30%, suggesting limited variation in these defined benefit plan assets or obligations.
Other non-current assets
This category remained relatively steady, with a slight increase from 5.92% in 2020 to 6.59% in 2024, indicating consistent valuation of miscellaneous or long-term assets outside the main categories.
Overall asset composition
Total assets were normalized at 100% by definition each year. The breakdown between current and non-current assets shows a slight decrease in non-current assets from 74.52% in 2020 to 67.84% in 2024, paralleled by an increase in current assets up to 33.39% in 2023, before slightly declining to 32.16% in 2024. This suggests a moderate shift in asset structure favoring more liquid or short-term assets.
