- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets showed notable fluctuation. Beginning at 9.39% in early 2020, it increased to a peak of 14.05% in the first quarter of 2021. Subsequently, it decreased significantly throughout 2022 and into 2023, reaching a low point of 4.19% in the first quarter of 2025, with some recovery to 6.02% by the second quarter of 2025.
- Receivables, Trade and Other
- This item remained relatively stable, varying between roughly 9.08% and 11.10% of total assets over the observed periods. There was a slight upward trend starting in 2022, maintaining levels around 10.5% to 11.0%, indicating a consistent level of trade receivables in the asset base.
- Receivables, Finance
- The percentage of finance receivables showed a minor decline from 12.02% in the first quarter of 2020 to near 11% through much of 2022 and 2023. It exhibited mild variability but generally stabilized in the 10.9% to 11.4% range thereafter, suggesting steady financing receivable levels.
- Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
- This category showed a gradual increase from approximately 2.32% in early 2020, peaking around 5.92% in the third quarter of 2023, before moderating back down to roughly 3.17% by mid-2025. This suggests a temporary buildup followed by normalization in prepaid and other current assets.
- Inventories
- Inventories as a percentage of total assets demonstrated a clear upward trend from 15.48% in early 2020 to highs exceeding 21% in several quarters of 2023 and 2025, peaking at 21.08% in the first quarter of 2023 and 21.02% in the first quarter of 2025. This steady increase indicates a growing investment in inventory over time.
- Current Assets
- Current assets collectively accounted for about half of total assets throughout the period, increasing from around 49.52% in the first quarter of 2020 to a peak near 55.31% in the third quarter of 2023. The values then slightly declined but remained above 50%, demonstrating a relatively steady current asset base with some growth concentration in recent years.
- Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
- This asset category showed a mild decline from 16.45% at the start of 2020 to about 14.16%-14.50% range during 2021 and 2022. Subsequently, it experienced a gradual recovery to over 15% by late 2024 and into 2025, suggesting reinvestment or asset appreciation.
- Long-Term Receivables, Trade and Other
- Long-term trade and other receivables remained low but stable, fluctuating modestly between 1.28% and 1.78% across all quarters. There was no significant upward or downward trend observed in this category.
- Long-Term Receivables, Finance
- This asset component started at 15.84% in early 2020, declined slightly to roughly 14.16%–14.48% during 2022-2023, and then showed a rebound to over 15% in 2024 and 2025, peaking at 15.83% in the first quarter of 2025. This pattern indicates some reduction followed by recovery in long-term financing receivables.
- Noncurrent Deferred and Refundable Income Taxes
- Noncurrent deferred and refundable income taxes steadily increased from 1.88% in early 2020 to 3.92% by mid-2025, showing a continuous and gradual rise throughout the entire period.
- Intangible Assets
- Intangible assets as a percentage of total assets consistently declined, dropping from 1.95% in early 2020 to a low of 0.36% by mid-2025. This reflects a steady amortization, impairment, or reclassification of intangible assets over the years.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill hovered near 8% in early 2020 but exhibited a slow declining trend thereafter, reaching approximately 5.9% by mid-2025. This pattern suggests some impairment or write-downs affecting goodwill.
- Other Assets
- Other assets gradually increased from 4.69% to roughly 6% by mid-2025, indicating a modest growth in miscellaneous asset components.
- Noncurrent Assets
- Noncurrent assets accounted for about half of total assets, showing a slight decline from approximately 50.5% in 2020 to a low of around 44.7% in 2023, followed by a rebound to nearly 49.4% by the first quarter of 2025. This demonstrates fluctuations but a generally substantial share of total assets being noncurrent.
