The asset structure exhibits a significant shift in liquidity and capital allocation between early 2021 and late 2026. An initial trend toward increased liquidity peaked in 2023, followed by a strategic reallocation back toward long-term operational assets.
- Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
- Current assets as a percentage of total assets grew from 14.44% in March 2021 to a peak of 27.17% in September 2023. This increase was primarily driven by a surge in cash and cash equivalents, which rose from 1.05% to a high of 8.85% during the same period. However, from 2024 onward, liquidity contracted, with cash levels falling to 2.58% by September 2026. Notes and accounts receivable showed a more persistent upward trajectory, increasing from 7.42% in March 2021 to 14.13% by September 2026, suggesting a growing proportion of assets tied up in credit sales.
- Inventory and Working Capital Management
- Inventories remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow band between 5.17% and 6.68%. Crude oil, products, and merchandise consistently represented the largest portion of inventory, peaking at 5.54% in December 2022. Materials and supplies exhibited a gradual decline, moving from 1.38% in March 2021 to 0.69% by September 2026, indicating a reduction in the weight of supplies relative to the total asset base.
- Long-Term Asset Allocation
- Long-term assets experienced a cyclical contraction and expansion, moving from 85.56% in March 2021 to a low of 72.83% in September 2023, before recovering to 77.15% by September 2026. Property, plant, and equipment (PPE) remained the dominant asset class throughout the period. PPE weight declined from 67.30% to 54.87% by September 2022, then rebounded sharply to peak at 64.90% in December 2024, before settling at 63.06% in September 2026. Conversely, investments, advances, and long-term receivables showed a steady decline from 13.24% to 9.41% over the analyzed timeframe.
Overall, the balance sheet reflects a period of substantial cash accumulation between 2021 and 2023, followed by a pivot toward reinvestment in fixed assets and an increase in the weighting of accounts receivable by the end of 2026.
