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 Equivalents
- The cash and equivalents showed a moderate increasing trend from December 2013 to March 2017, peaking at 5,039 million USD. However, from that peak, the figure declined somewhat, reaching a low of 1,093 million USD in September 2018, before recovering gradually toward 2,583 million USD by March 2020. This indicates fluctuations in liquidity with a significant dip in late 2018, followed by improvement.
- Receivables, less Allowances
- Receivables experienced relatively mild volatility throughout the period. Initially rising slightly through mid-2014, they declined considerably toward late 2016, reaching around 2,426 million USD. After that, the trend generally returned to higher levels near 3,400 million USD in late 2018, before decreasing again to approximately 2,641 million USD by March 2020. The data suggests some challenges in accounts receivable collection or sales volume fluctuations.
- Inventories
- Inventory levels were relatively stable with minor fluctuations until mid-2016, then sharply decreased to around 1,208 million USD in September 2016. Subsequently, there was an increase peaking close to 1,891 million USD in mid-2017, followed by moderate variability, ending near 2,058 million USD in March 2020. This points to inventory management adjustments, possibly reflecting supply chain changes or demand shifts.
- Other Current Assets
- This item exhibited high variability. Notably, a significant increase occurred in September 2016 to 2,869 million USD, possibly due to reclassification or one-time transactions. Overall, other current assets fluctuated between approximately 330 to 840 million USD outside of that anomaly, remaining fairly stable toward the end of the period.
- Current Assets
- Current assets stayed mostly stable between 9,700 and 10,800 million USD through early 2016, then declined sharply to 8,877 million USD at year-end 2016. The level further declined to around 6,619 million USD in early 2018 but recovered somewhat to 8,032 million USD by March 2020. These movements largely mirror changes in cash, receivables, inventories, and other current assets.
- Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
- The net property, plant, and equipment values remained relatively consistent, averaging between 3,520 and 3,800 million USD before dropping to near 2,861 million USD in late 2016. Afterward, values recovered back above 3,200 million USD and stabilized, ending near 3,553 million USD by March 2020. This pattern suggests asset disposals or impairments around 2016, followed by reinvestment or acquisitions.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill amounts were stable close to 7,900 million USD until mid-2014, then declined sharply to 3,861 million USD by early 2017. Subsequently, there was a steady increase peaking around 6,578 million USD in late 2018, maintaining near 6,500 million USD thereafter. These changes likely reflect acquisitions, divestitures, or impairment adjustments consistent with company restructuring.
- Other Intangible Assets
- Other intangible assets declined steadily from approximately 1,839 million USD at the end of 2013 to 869 million USD by early 2017. Following this, a significant increase occurred, rising to a peak near 2,751 million USD by late 2018, before settling near 2,498 million USD in March 2020. This suggests capitalizing of new intangible assets or revaluation after prior amortization or disposals.
- Other Assets
- Other assets fluctuated markedly over the timeline. Early years showed values near 7-8 hundred million USD before a spike occurred in late 2016 to over 4,000 million USD, again indicative of possible accounting reclassifications or one-off items. Afterward, the amounts returned to a range generally between 560 and 1,100 million USD, showing some stability.
- Noncurrent Assets
- Noncurrent assets stayed mostly between 12,000 and 14,000 million USD until late 2016, decreasing sharply to around 7,800 million USD early in 2017. This figure then rose again steadily, ending near 13,700 million USD in March 2020. Such volatility aligns with the fluctuations observed in goodwill, other intangible assets, and property, plant, and equipment, suggesting possible asset impairments and recoveries.
- Total Assets
- Total assets fluctuated between about 23,000 and 25,000 million USD from 2013 through mid-2015, then declined to about 17,200 million USD by early 2017. From there, the total assets increased again, achieving close to 21,700 million USD by March 2020. The trend reflects cyclical reductions and recoveries in asset base, likely resulting from significant asset write-downs and subsequent acquisitions or capital investments.
