Balance Sheet: Assets
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

- Cash and cash equivalents
- The balance of cash and cash equivalents fluctuated significantly, with an overall upward trend. Initial values near $280 million in mid-2017 dipped to around $182 million by late 2018, before rising to a peak of approximately $1.16 billion in early 2021. Thereafter, values experienced volatility but generally remained elevated, reaching over $1.65 billion in late 2023.
- Trade accounts receivable, net
- Trade accounts receivable displayed cyclical fluctuations, with peaks typically occurring near the third quarter of each year. They increased from about $109 million in mid-2017 to a high exceeding $487 million in late 2023. There was evident seasonality and a noticeable upward movement in recent periods.
- Inventories
- Inventory levels showed volatility, with clear seasonal peaks in the third quarter of each year, reflecting inventory build-up cycles. Starting around $442 million in mid-2017, inventory values generally increased over time, reaching nearly $926 million in late 2022, before decreasing in subsequent quarters. This suggests growing inventory investment overall, with seasonal adjustments.
- Prepaid expenses
- Prepaid expenses remained relatively stable, fluctuating between approximately $17 million and $46 million over the period. Some increases were observed in the post-2021 period, possibly indicating rising advance payments or prepayments.
- Other current assets
- Other current assets showed moderate growth, expanding from around $17 million in mid-2017 to peaks above $97 million in late 2022. This increase suggests diversification or growth in other short-term assets held by the company.
- Income tax receivable
- Income tax receivable balances were generally low with some spikes, increasing notably in the 2020-2022 period, reaching over $24 million in late 2022. These fluctuations could relate to timing differences in tax payments or refunds.
- Current assets
- Current assets experienced growth overall, starting around $903 million in mid-2017 and peaking near $2.65 billion in late 2023. The balance included substantial increases in cash, receivables, and inventories, reflecting expanding operational scale and liquidity.
- Property and equipment, net
- Net property and equipment balances remained relatively stable, fluctuating mildly between approximately $206 million and $301 million throughout the period. This suggests steady capital investment with limited large expansions or disposals.
- Operating lease assets
- Operating lease assets data is only available starting in late 2018, initially near $232 million, before showing a gradual decline to around $164 million in early 2022, then rising again to over $232 million by late 2023, indicating adjustments in leased asset holdings over time.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill remained constant at about $14 million throughout the entire period, indicating no significant acquisitions or impairments impacting this asset category.
- Other intangible assets, net
- Other intangible assets showed a steady decline from about $63.5 million in mid-2017 to approximately $36 million by late 2023, illustrating ongoing amortization without significant additions.
- Deferred tax assets, net
- Deferred tax assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating mostly in the range of $27 million to over $72 million, with noticeable increases post-2021 that may reflect tax strategy adjustments or changes in temporary differences.
- Other assets
- Other assets exhibited moderate variability, moving from roughly $22 million in mid-2017 up to peaks near $58 million in the 2021-2022 period, before declining somewhat in late 2023. Variations may be due to changes in non-current financial or operating items.
- Long-term assets
- Long-term assets remained broadly consistent, ranging from $330 million to nearly $700 million, with a notable increase starting in 2019 which persisted through 2023, reflecting accumulation in property, intangibles, and other fixed assets.
- Total assets
- Total assets demonstrated a substantial growth trajectory, starting from about $1.27 billion in mid-2017 and rising steadily to approximately $3.35 billion by late 2023. This growth mirrored expansions in both current and long-term asset bases, reflecting overall business growth, investment, and increased liquidity.
