The asset composition shows a strategic shift toward intangible value and a reduction in physical infrastructure over the analyzed period. Noncurrent assets consistently dominate the balance sheet, generally maintaining a share between 73% and 79% of total assets, while current assets fluctuate between approximately 20% and 27%.

Intangible Asset Expansion
A significant upward trend is observed in goodwill, which increased from 40.36% of total assets in March 2021 to 47.82% by March 2026. This represents the most substantial growth area within the asset base, suggesting a sustained strategy of acquisitions. Net intangible assets remained relatively stable, though they experienced a slight overall decline from 9.11% in early 2021 to 9.36% in March 2026, with several periods of contraction in between.
Reduction in Tangible Infrastructure
Property, plant, and equipment, net, exhibit a clear and consistent downward trajectory. The share of total assets dropped from 6.36% in March 2021 to 3.70% by March 2026. This decline is mirrored by a reduction in gross property, plant, and equipment, which fell from 21.71% to 11.37% over the same period, indicating a transition away from heavy physical asset ownership.
Liquidity and Cash Management
Cash and cash equivalents show cyclical volatility, peaking at 10.65% in December 2023 before settling at 6.93% in March 2026. Marketable securities demonstrated higher volatility, with notable spikes in March 2023 (6.03%) and March 2025 (4.41%), contrasted by periods where they represented less than 1% of total assets. Total current assets peaked in March 2023 at 26.93% and reached a period low of 20.43% in March 2026.
Receivables and Financing Trends
Trade receivables remained stable, generally fluctuating between 4% and 5% of total assets. However, short-term financing receivables held for investment showed a gradual decline, moving from 5.94% in March 2021 to 3.69% in March 2026. Long-term financing receivables remained more volatile, ending the period at 4.49% after reaching a high of 5.08% in December 2025.
Other Noncurrent Asset Trends
Prepaid pension assets showed a general downward trend from a peak of 7.79% in June 2022 to 4.85% by March 2026. Deferred taxes remained relatively consistent, fluctuating within a narrow band between 4.71% and 6.22% of total assets.
