A significant and sustained contraction in the total asset base is observed over the analyzed period. Total assets decreased from 245,164 million US dollars in March 2021 to 128,445 million US dollars by March 2026, representing a reduction of approximately 47%. This trend is characterized by two distinct phases of decline: a steady reduction between 2021 and 2023, followed by a sharp structural drop in the second quarter of 2024.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Current assets experienced a substantial decline from 113,198 million US dollars in March 2021 to 40,361 million US dollars by March 2026. A critical inflection point occurred between March 2024 and June 2024, where current assets fell from 59,589 million US dollars to 37,352 million US dollars. Cash and cash equivalents showed volatility, peaking at 31,783 million US dollars in early 2021 before stabilizing in a range between 10,000 and 18,000 million US dollars throughout the remainder of the period.
Operational Asset Analysis
Inventories remained relatively stable between 15,800 and 17,600 million US dollars from March 2021 through March 2024. However, a significant reduction is noted starting June 2024, with levels dropping to approximately 9,469 million US dollars and gradually recovering to 12,367 million US dollars by March 2026. Similarly, net property, plant, and equipment followed a downward trajectory, decreasing from 16,296 million US dollars in March 2021 to 7,973 million US dollars by March 2026.
Strategic Divestitures and Intangible Assets
Evidence of large-scale corporate restructuring is apparent in the assets of businesses held for sale, which dropped from 33,922 million US dollars in March 2021 to near-zero levels by June 2024. This is mirrored by a significant reduction in goodwill, which fell from 25,320 million US dollars in March 2021 to 9,003 million US dollars by March 2026. Other net intangible assets also saw a consistent decline, ending the period at 4,151 million US dollars compared to 9,395 million US dollars at the start.
Long-term Investment Position
Non-current investment securities remained the most stable component of the asset base, fluctuating slightly around the 37,000 to 42,000 million US dollar range. In contrast, current investment securities saw a near-total depletion, falling from 6,741 million US dollars in March 2021 to approximately 1,000 million US dollars by late 2024 and 2025.

The overall asset profile indicates a transition toward a leaner balance sheet. The simultaneous reduction in goodwill, assets held for sale, and total current assets suggests a strategic shift characterized by the divestiture of non-core business segments and a reduction in capital intensity.
