The asset structure is characterized by a heavy concentration of noncurrent assets, which consistently represent approximately 80% or more of the total asset base from 2018 to 2022. This composition indicates an asset-light operational model regarding physical infrastructure, with a primary reliance on intangible value and acquired intellectual property.

Intangible Asset Trends
Intangible assets constitute the vast majority of the total asset base. Goodwill has exhibited a gradual upward trend, increasing from 52.33% of total assets in 2018 to 54.94% in 2022. In contrast, other identifiable intangible assets have experienced a consistent decline, falling from 26.39% in 2018 to 19.02% in 2022, suggesting a pattern of amortization that outweighs new intangible acquisitions.
Liquidity and Current Asset Composition
Current assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 17.18% and 20.72%. Cash and cash equivalents showed volatility, peaking at 7.38% in 2020 before settling at 4.80% by the end of 2022. Trade accounts receivable and unbilled services maintained a steady presence, ending the period at 11.51% of total assets, which represents the largest component of the current asset portfolio.
Fixed Assets and Right-of-Use Assets
Physical assets represent a minimal portion of the balance sheet. Property and equipment, net, remained low, shifting slightly from 1.92% to 2.10%. The inclusion of finance lease right-of-use assets resulted in a combined property and equipment value that rose from 1.92% in 2018 to 3.00% in 2022. Meanwhile, operating lease right-of-use assets, which first appeared in the data in 2019 at 2.13%, trended downward to 1.31% by 2022.
Other Asset Components
Other noncurrent components, including deferred income taxes and investments in unconsolidated affiliates, remained marginal and stable, each typically representing less than 1% of total assets. Income taxes receivable also showed a slight downward trajectory, moving from 0.31% in 2018 to 0.17% in 2022.
