Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2022-02-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-02-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-02-29), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-02-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-02-28), 10-K (reporting date: 2017-02-28).


Total assets experienced a significant surge between 2017 and 2019, peaking at 29.2 billion US dollars before entering a period of gradual contraction to 25.8 billion US dollars by February 2022. This overall trajectory is primarily characterized by a massive expansion of noncurrent assets in 2019, followed by a steady reduction in financial instruments and investments.

Current Asset Trends
Current assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 3.0 billion and 3.7 billion US dollars. Accounts receivable exhibited a consistent upward trend, growing from 737 million US dollars in 2017 to 899 million US dollars in 2022. Cash and cash equivalents showed high volatility, with a significant spike to 460.6 million US dollars in 2021. Inventories peaked in 2019 at 2.1 billion US dollars before a sharp decline in 2020 to 1.3 billion US dollars, subsequently recovering to 1.5 billion US dollars by 2022.
Capital Expenditure and Intangibles
A consistent growth pattern is observed in property, plant, and equipment, which increased from 3.9 billion US dollars in 2017 to 6.0 billion US dollars in 2022, suggesting ongoing investment in production capacity. In contrast, intangible assets followed a downward trend, decreasing from 3.3 billion US dollars to 2.7 billion US dollars, likely due to amortization. Goodwill remained largely stagnant, maintaining a range between 7.7 billion and 8.1 billion US dollars throughout the period.
Analysis of Noncurrent Asset Volatility
The most pronounced changes occurred within noncurrent assets, which rose from 15.3 billion US dollars in 2017 to a peak of 25.5 billion US dollars in 2019. This increase was driven by three primary factors: a substantial rise in equity method investments, the emergence of deferred income taxes as a major asset (reaching 2.1 billion US dollars in 2019), and a peak in securities measured at fair value. By 2022, securities measured at fair value had declined sharply to 191.4 million US dollars from a 2019 high of 3.2 billion US dollars, contributing to the overall reduction in total assets.
