- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts receivable exhibited a mostly upward trend over the periods, increasing steadily from early 2017 through March 2022. There was a brief decline around mid-2019 but overall the balance continued to grow, indicating increased operational activity or credit sales over time.
- Inventories
- Inventory levels remained relatively stable and showed gradual growth between 2017 and March 2022. Minor fluctuations occurred, with a slight dip in mid-2020, but the overall trend reflects consistent investment in inventory.

- Total assets expanded consistently over the period, rising from roughly 33.8 billion US dollars to over 52.2 billion US dollars by March 2022. Despite some declines in mid-2020 and early 2021, the overall trajectory points to strong asset base growth.
