Balance Sheet: Assets
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Total assets exhibited relative stability between 2019 and mid-2023, generally fluctuating between $17.5 billion and $19.0 billion. However, a significant contraction occurred in the final quarter of 2023, with total assets falling to $15.6 billion by December 30, 2023, and continuing a slight downward trajectory to $15.3 billion by June 29, 2024. This reduction is primarily attributable to a decrease in non-current assets and a correction in inventory levels.
- Current Asset Trends
- Current assets showed considerable volatility over the analyzed period. A peak of $4.99 billion was reached in September 2023, largely driven by a temporary spike in cash and cash equivalents to $1.10 billion. By June 2024, current assets normalized to $3.47 billion. Inventories demonstrated a notable growth cycle, rising from $1.32 billion in March 2019 to a peak of $1.80 billion in April 2023, before undergoing a sharp reduction to $1.18 billion by June 2024, suggesting a concerted effort to lean out working capital.
- Liquidity and Receivables
- Cash and cash equivalents experienced several spikes, most notably in late 2020 and September 2023, but generally maintained a baseline between $200 million and $400 million. Accounts receivable grew steadily from $1.63 billion in 2019 to a peak of $1.98 billion in October 2022, before stabilizing around $1.65 billion in 2024, indicating a stabilization in credit terms and collection cycles.
- Non-Current Asset Erosion
- A consistent downward trend is observed in intangible assets and goodwill. Other intangibles, net, declined steadily from $3.35 billion in March 2019 to $1.80 billion in June 2024, reflecting regular amortization or impairment. Goodwill remained relatively flat near $5.7 billion for several years but saw a marked decrease starting in late 2023, ending at $5.04 billion. Property, net, also saw a distinct drop from approximately $3.7 billion to $3.12 billion between September 2023 and March 2024.
- Strategic Asset Shifts
- Investments in unconsolidated entities showed a significant long-term decline, falling from $410 million in 2019 to $107 million by June 2024. The synchronized drop in property, goodwill, and unconsolidated investments during the latter half of 2023 suggests a strategic divestiture or a substantial restructuring of the company's asset base.
