- Cash and cash equivalents
- The balance of cash and cash equivalents shows fluctuations throughout the periods. It decreased from early 2020 to mid-2021, then experienced a significant increase toward the end of 2023 and stayed relatively high with some volatility through 2024 and 2025.
- Restricted cash
- Restricted cash amounts remained generally low and relatively stable, with a notable spike occurring around mid-2024, but returned to lower levels thereafter.
- Marketable securities
- Marketable securities exhibited considerable variation, with elevated levels in early 2023 followed by a sharp decline toward the end of 2023, and some recovery after that. The trend indicates fluctuations in investment securities over time.
- Receivables
- Notes and accounts receivable, trade, net, showed a general downward trend from early 2020 to late 2023, recovering somewhat in 2024 but declining again toward 2025. Short-term financing receivables held for investment decreased steadily from early 2020 through 2023, with small recovery in 2024 and falling again near the end of 2025. Receivables held for sale appeared from late 2020 onwards, showing irregular fluctuations. Other accounts receivable showed variability but no clear long-term trend, peaking near 2025.
- Inventories
- Finished goods and work in process/raw materials both experienced fluctuations, with finished goods reaching a low point around late 2023 and then some increase, while work in process and raw materials generally declined toward late 2023 and remained relatively stable afterward. Overall inventory values reflect a similar pattern with some declines toward late 2023 and a modest rebound in 2024 and 2025.
- Deferred costs and prepaid expenses
- Deferred costs showed a decreasing trend around 2021, with some variability but generally stable amounts through subsequent periods. Prepaid expenses and other current assets rose from early 2020 to late 2021, then fluctuated somewhat with no strong directional trend.
- Current assets
- Current assets decreased notably from early 2020 to late 2021, experienced a rebound peaking in early 2023, followed by declines and increased variability in 2024 and 2025.
- Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) and related accounts
- Net PP&E declined sharply in 2021, reflecting a significant asset base reduction, then remained fairly stable with minor fluctuations through 2024 and 2025. Accumulated depreciation followed a similar pattern, indicating large asset retirements or reclassifications in 2021 but steady trends otherwise. Operating right-of-use assets net also decreased during 2020-2021 and displayed moderate stability afterward.
- Long-term financing receivables
- These balances decreased from early 2020 to 2021, with some recovery in later periods, but overall showed a downward trend followed by moderate fluctuations.
- Prepaid pension assets
- Prepaid pension assets generally increased gradually from 2020 through early 2021, spiked in late 2021, then declined substantially in early 2023, with fluctuations and a modest recovery afterward.
- Deferred taxes and other deferred costs
- Deferred taxes decreased substantially in 2021 and fluctuated around a lower level thereafter, showing a slight recovery in late 2024 and 2025. Deferred costs declined considerably in 2021 but remained relatively consistent at reduced levels through later periods.
- Goodwill and intangible assets
- Goodwill increased steadily from 2020 to 2021, then sharply declined in late 2021, followed by consistent growth through 2024 and reaching new highs by mid-2025. Intangible assets net showed a declining trend overall but experienced intermittent increases especially from early 2023 onward, indicating active management of intangible asset balances.
- Investments and sundry assets
- These assets showed a mild declining trend through 2023, followed by moderate volatility but remained relatively stable in the later periods.
- Noncurrent assets and total assets
- Noncurrent assets declined noticeably in 2021, reflecting reductions in PP&E, deferred costs, and other long-term assets, followed by gradual recovery and growth through 2024 and 2025. Total assets mirrored this pattern, with a drop in 2021 but recovery reaching new peaks by mid-2025, indicating overall asset base growth after a period of contraction.
