Total assets exhibited a fluctuating trend over the analyzed period, starting at 22,072 million USD in March 2018 and reaching a low of 18,821 million USD by December 2020, before recovering to a peak of 23,201 million USD by September 2023. This trajectory suggests a period of significant contraction during 2020 followed by a steady recovery in the asset base.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Cash and cash equivalents showed considerable volatility. A downward trend was observed from March 2018 (3,726 million USD) to September 2020 (1,285 million USD), representing a substantial reduction in immediate liquidity. Subsequent quarters showed a recovery, with cash balances stabilizing between 2,000 and 2,500 million USD from 2022 through September 2023. Accounts receivable generally trended upward, growing from 997 million USD in early 2018 to 1,460 million USD by the end of the period, indicating an increase in credit extended to customers or longer collection cycles.
Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE) Analysis
Net PPE experienced a notable decline between 2018 and 2020, falling from 16,181 million USD to a low of 13,863 million USD in March 2021. This decline is attributed to the interplay between the cost of assets and accumulated reserves for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. From mid-2021, a consistent upward trend emerged, with net PPE increasing to 16,421 million USD by September 2023, suggesting renewed capital expenditure or asset revaluations.
Right-of-Use (ROU) Assets
Finance and operating lease ROU assets appeared in the records starting in March 2019. Finance lease ROU assets showed a gradual and consistent decline from 332 million USD in March 2019 to 113 million USD in September 2023. Operating lease ROU assets were more volatile, peaking at 570 million USD in December 2022 before moderating to 481 million USD by the end of the period.
Other Non-current Asset Components
Goodwill remained static at 360 million USD throughout the entire duration. A significant development is observed in post-retirement benefit assets, which first appeared in December 2021 at 409 million USD and grew steadily to 668 million USD by September 2023. Additionally, deferred income taxes showed a marked increase in 2023, rising to 291 million USD from a low of 21 million USD in June 2021.

The overall asset structure indicates a strategic recovery phase. The transition from a shrinking asset base in 2020 to an expanding one by 2023 is primarily driven by the recovery of net PPE and the growth of non-current assets, while current assets have shifted from a cash-heavy position to one with higher receivables.
