Total assets exhibit a general upward trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from approximately 6.15 billion USD in March 2021 to 8.86 billion USD by June 2026. This growth is primarily driven by a consistent expansion in long-term assets, which offset a significant contraction in current assets observed toward the end of the period.

Fixed Asset Expansion
A sustained increase is observed in long-term assets, rising from 4.69 billion USD in March 2021 to 7.92 billion USD in June 2026. The primary drivers of this growth are operating lease assets and net property and equipment. Operating lease assets grew from 2.86 billion USD to 4.77 billion USD, while leasehold improvements and property and equipment increased from 1.61 billion USD to 2.87 billion USD. This pattern indicates a continuous investment in physical infrastructure and capacity expansion.
Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Current assets displayed moderate growth and volatility between 2021 and mid-2025, peaking at 1.87 billion USD in June 2025. However, a sharp decline occurred thereafter, with current assets falling to 940.74 million USD by June 2026. This contraction is largely attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, which dropped from a peak of 844.52 million USD in June 2025 to 228.20 million USD in June 2026.
Investment Portfolio Dynamics
The company's investment strategy shows a cycle of accumulation followed by liquidation. Current investments grew from 363.59 million USD in March 2021 to a peak of 851.70 million USD in September 2023, before declining to 449.66 million USD by June 2026. Similarly, long-term investments peaked at 972.64 million USD in June 2024 and subsequently declined to 97.08 million USD by June 2026. This suggests a reallocation of liquid capital toward the funding of long-term fixed assets.
Working Capital Components
Inventory levels remained relatively stable for the first several years but showed a gradual increase, moving from 24.30 million USD in March 2021 to 46.62 million USD by June 2026. Accounts receivable and prepaid expenses followed a similar gradual growth path, reflecting an increase in operational scale. Goodwill remained stagnant at 21.94 million USD throughout the entire duration, indicating no significant acquisitions contributing to the asset base during this timeframe.

The overall financial positioning reflects a strategic shift toward aggressive capital expenditure in physical assets, funded by the reduction of cash reserves and the liquidation of short- and long-term investment portfolios. While the total asset base has expanded, the liquidity profile has tightened significantly in the final quarters of the analyzed period.
