Cash and cash equivalents
The proportion of cash and cash equivalents to total assets exhibited a fluctuating pattern over the period. It increased from 4.78% in 2020 to a peak of 6.88% in 2022, followed by a decline to 4.57% in 2024, indicating a reduction in liquid holdings after 2022.
Short-term investments
This category showed significant volatility, starting at 5.76% in 2020, sharply decreasing to 0.49% in 2021, rising again to 2.97% in 2022, then declining to 0.41% by 2024. The overall trend points toward a diminishing allocation to short-term investments as a portion of total assets.
Accounts and notes receivable, net of allowance
There was a notable increase in receivables from 4.21% in 2020 to a peak of 7.54% in 2022, followed by a gradual decline to 5.39% in 2024. This pattern suggests temporary growth in receivables before a reduction in more recent years.
Accounts and notes receivable, related parties
The percentage remained relatively low and stable, hovering below one percent throughout the period, with minor fluctuations and a slight increase to 0.06% in 2024.
Investment in Cenovus Energy
Data is only available for 2020 and 2021, where the share of total assets dropped from 2.01% to 1.23%. Information for subsequent years is missing, indicating possible divestment or reclassification.
Inventories
The inventory proportion remained relatively stable with a slight decline from 1.6% in 2020 to 1.3% in 2022 and a moderate uptick to 1.47% in 2024, suggesting consistent inventory management with minor adjustments.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
There was an increase from 0.73% in 2020 to 1.74% in 2021, followed by a decline to 0.84% by 2024, indicating initial growth in prepaid and other current assets before normalization.
Current assets
The aggregate current assets decreased steadily from 19.27% in 2020 to 12.74% in 2024, reflecting a lower relative current asset base over time, which could suggest a shift towards longer-term asset holdings.
Equity investments
Equity investments as a percentage of total assets decreased significantly from 12.13% in 2020 to 7.39% in 2021, then stabilized around 7-8%, ending at 7.01% in 2024. This indicates a notable reduction initially with modest recovery and stability thereafter.
Long-term receivables
Long-term receivables remained a minor component, fluctuating narrowly between 0.09% and 0.22% without any clear trend.
Long-term investments in debt securities
This category increased from 0.35% in 2020 to a high of 1.03% in 2023 before slightly receding to 0.86% in 2024, suggesting a strategic increase in debt securities held long-term followed by a slight reduction.
Other investments
Other investments maintained a consistently small share, between 0.07% and 0.11%, showing little variation over the years.
Investments and long-term receivables
The combined category decreased sharply from 12.8% in 2020 to 7.85% in 2021, followed by a gradual increase to 9.52% in 2023 and a slight decrease to 8.04% in 2024, illustrating an initial reduction with partial recovery.
