The balance sheet exhibits a significant long-term contraction in total assets, decreasing from 245,164 million US dollars in March 2021 to 127,195 million US dollars by September 2026. This reduction is characterized by several distinct step-downs, most notably between December 2021 and March 2022, and again in March 2024, suggesting major structural reorganizations or divestitures.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Current assets experienced a sharp decline from a peak of 113,198 million US dollars in March 2021 to a stabilized range between 37,000 and 41,000 million US dollars from March 2024 onward. Cash and cash equivalents followed a similar downward trajectory, falling from 31,783 million US dollars to 8,764 million US dollars over the analyzed period. Short-term investment securities showed extreme volatility, peaking at 12,814 million US dollars in March 2023 before plummeting to approximately 1,000 million US dollars by late 2024.
Operational Working Capital
Current receivables and inventories remained relatively stable through 2023 but underwent a significant downward adjustment in March 2024. Inventories dropped from 17,603 million US dollars in December 2023 to 9,469 million US dollars in March 2024, subsequently recovering slightly to 12,743 million US dollars by September 2026. Current receivables mirrored this pattern, dropping from 15,100 million US dollars to 8,370 million US dollars in the same period before trending back upward to 14,019 million US dollars.
Non-Current Asset Devaluation
Non-current assets declined from 131,966 million US dollars to 85,667 million US dollars. A critical reduction is observed in goodwill, which fell from 25,320 million US dollars in March 2021 to 13,107 million US dollars in March 2023, and further to 8,967 million US dollars by September 2026. Net property, plant, and equipment also saw a substantial reduction, dropping from 16,296 million US dollars in March 2021 to a range of 7,000 to 8,300 million US dollars starting in March 2024.
Strategic Asset Shifts
The presence of assets held for sale provides insight into the overall asset reduction. These assets were prominent in early 2021 at 33,922 million US dollars but were largely eliminated by June 2024. This trend, combined with the simultaneous drops in goodwill and fixed assets, indicates a systematic shedding of business units. Conversely, current contract assets showed a period of decline until December 2023, followed by a steady increase to 3,527 million US dollars by September 2026, suggesting a growth in new contract-based activity despite the overall balance sheet contraction.

Overall, the asset profile has shifted from a diversified, high-value base to a leaner operational structure. The most aggressive phase of asset reduction concluded by early 2024, after which the balance sheet entered a phase of relative stability with modest growth in working capital components.
