- Cash and equivalents
- The proportion of cash and equivalents relative to total assets exhibited a fluctuating trend, starting at 18.44% in 2017, dipping to a low of 9.5% by 2021 after an intermediate decline in 2018. This indicates a reduced liquidity buffer over the period.
- Trade receivables
- This category increased from 15.66% in 2017 to a peak of 17.66% in 2021, with minor variations. The upward trend suggests a growing amount of receivables on the balance sheet, potentially reflecting increased sales or changing credit policies.
- Inventories
- Inventories as a percentage of total assets showed moderate variability, rising from 7.27% in 2017 to 10.54% in 2021, with a dip in 2019 and 2020. The increase in 2021 may indicate higher stock levels or slower inventory turnover.
- Value-added-tax receivables
- The proportion of VAT receivables remained relatively stable and low, maintaining around 0.4% to 0.5% of total assets across the years, suggesting consistent tax-related asset positions.
- Vendor advances
- Vendor advances increased notably from 0.15% in 2017 to 0.44% in 2021, representing a nearly threefold growth. This may reflect changes in supplier payment practices or increased advance payments.
- Income tax refunds receivable
- There was a clear declining trend in income tax refunds receivable, falling from 0.72% in 2017 to 0.11% in 2021, indicating fewer tax receivables or improved tax payment positioning.
- Other current assets
- The category labeled as "Other" within current assets experienced slight fluctuations, increasing marginally from 0.71% to 0.87% over the time period, suggesting minor changes in miscellaneous current asset components.
- Prepaid expenses and other current assets
- This subcategory stayed fairly consistent, showing minor fluctuations around 2%, with a small dip in 2020. The stability indicates steady prepaid and similar current asset balances.
- Assets held for sale
- Assets held for sale were recorded only in 2019 at 2.33%, absent in other years, implying a one-time classification of certain assets as held for sale during that year.
- Current assets overall
- Total current assets as a percentage of total assets decreased from 43.37% in 2017 to 39.65% in 2021, reflecting a relative decline in short-term asset holdings within the total asset base over the period.
- Net plant and equipment
- This item increased from 10.6% in 2017 to peak at 12.04% in 2018 but then gradually decreased to 11.25% in 2021, indicating some level of reinvestment or depreciation balance changes over these years.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill accounted for a significant share of total assets, rising from 28.32% in 2017 to 30.88% in 2021, with minor fluctuations. This suggests ongoing acquisitions or stable goodwill valuation on the balance sheet.
- Intangible assets
- Intangible assets showed a decreasing trend from 7.58% in 2017 to 5% in 2020, with a slight rebound to 6.05% in 2021. This may reflect amortization or disposals followed by some additions or revaluations.
- Deferred income taxes
- The proportion of deferred income taxes held steady around 3.4%, rising slightly from 3.01% to 3.43% over the period, indicating relatively stable deferred tax positions.
- Prepaid pension assets
- Prepaid pension assets gradually increased from 2.01% in 2017 to 2.89% in 2021, suggesting improved pension asset funding or changes in actuarial assumptions.
- Cash surrender value of life insurance policies
- This asset remained relatively steady, fluctuating narrowly around 2.6% to 2.9%, indicating a consistent valuation of these policies.
- Operating lease right-of-use assets
- Starting to be reported from 2019 at 1.37%, these assets remained stable at approximately 1.38% through to 2021, reflecting the adoption and consistent application of lease accounting standards.
- Customer tooling
- The share of customer tooling declined slightly from 1.1% to 0.96%, displaying a stable but slightly reduced presence among total assets.
- Other (non-current) assets
- Non-current other assets showed a modest decline from 1.38% in 2017 to 0.72% in 2021, indicating a reduction or reclassification of miscellaneous non-current assets.
- Other assets (general)
- The general category for other assets increased steadily from 7.12% in 2017 to 8.74% in 2021, highlighting growth or additions in miscellaneous assets not specifically categorized elsewhere.
- Noncurrent assets overall
- The total noncurrent asset proportion increased from 56.63% in 2017 to 60.35% in 2021. This rise reflects a gradual shift towards greater long-term asset holdings within the company's asset structure.
- Total assets
- The total assets remained constant at 100%, serving as the basis for all relative calculations.
