- Liquidity and Working Capital
- Cash and cash equivalents fluctuated moderately across the reported periods, with a peak near the end of 2020 and a general decline towards mid-2023, ending at $819 million. Receivables displayed variability with intermittent declines in mid-2020 followed by a recovery trend into mid-2023, reaching a high of $1,656 million. Inventories steadily increased from $1,312 million in early 2018 to a peak above $2,000 million by late 2022 before showing a slight decrease in 2023. Other current assets trended upward overall despite some fluctuations, evidencing increasing short-term resources. Total current assets increased steadily from $4,292 million in early 2018 to a maximum near $5,466 million in early 2023, though a minor decrease followed. This overall growth in current assets suggests improving liquidity, balanced by fluctuations in cash and receivables.
- Property, Plant and Equipment
- The historical cost of property, plant, and equipment showed an upward trend from approximately $8,648 million in early 2018 to nearly $9,988 million by mid-2023, indicating ongoing capital investment. Accumulated depreciation similarly increased in magnitude, reflecting ongoing asset usage and aging. The net property, plant, and equipment values declined from $4,087 million in early 2018 to a low around $3,487 million in early 2020, after which a gradual recovery ensued, reaching $4,431 million by mid-2023. This pattern reflects asset replacement and investment activities affecting the net asset base.
- Intangible Assets
- Goodwill remained relatively stable with moderate increases until 2019, when a noticeable jump occurred, followed by some fluctuations and a decline post-2020, stabilizing around $3,300-$3,400 million thereafter. Other intangible assets showed a decline beginning in 2018 stock at $1,782 million, spiking sharply in 2019 before declining gradually to approximately $1,900 million by mid-2023. These movements suggest acquisitions and amortization activities influencing the intangible asset base over time.
- Other Non-current Assets
- Deferred income taxes fluctuated moderately with small increases and decreases, peaking at $291 million in late 2020 before declining to lower $180 million ranges in 2022 and slight upticks in 2023. Other assets present increasing trends from $224 million in early 2018 to peaks above $1,000 million in 2022, followed by some declines but still maintaining higher-than-initial levels. Non-current assets overall grew from approximately $8,852 million in early 2018 to over $10,000 million by 2022-2023, indicating asset base expansion in long-term holdings.
- Total Assets
- Total assets demonstrated a consistent increase with some fluctuations, starting at $13,144 million in early 2018 and reaching a peak of $16,288 million towards late 2022. A slight dip occurred into mid-2023, yet total assets remained elevated at around $16,227 million. The growth trajectory indicates consistent asset accumulation and reinvestment, with short-term fluctuations aligning with operational and market dynamics.
