Balance Sheet: Assets

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.

Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2017-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2016-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2015-12-31).

Cash and cash equivalents: There was a notable increase in cash and cash equivalents from 2015 to 2018, peaking at 3,280 million US dollars in 2018. However, this was followed by a sharp decrease to 185 million US dollars in 2019, indicating significant fluctuations in liquidity over the period.
Restricted deposits: The amount held as restricted deposits showed a declining trend, decreasing from 60 million US dollars in 2015 to 24 million US dollars in 2019, suggesting a reduction in funds set aside for specific purposes or obligations.
Marketable securities at fair value: Marketable securities were unreported until 2019, where a value of 925 million US dollars was recorded, indicating that such investments were either acquired or disclosed only in the latter year.
Accounts receivable, net: Accounts receivable increased moderately from 1,315 million US dollars in 2015 to a peak of 1,498 million US dollars in 2018, before returning to 1,370 million US dollars in 2019. This reflects a generally stable level of credit extended to customers.
Fair value of derivative contracts: The fair value of derivative contracts showed a decreasing trend overall, dropping from 507 million US dollars in 2015 to 84 million US dollars in 2019, despite a temporary increase in 2018, suggesting lower exposure or changes in derivative positions.
Inventories: Inventory levels fluctuated slightly throughout the period, starting at 407 million US dollars in 2015, declining to 357 million in 2016, then increasing and stabilizing around the 370 million US dollar range in 2019, indicating minor adjustments in inventory management.
Other current assets: Other current assets showed variability, with a peak at 517 million US dollars in 2016 followed by declines and fluctuations, ending at 279 million US dollars in 2019, reflecting changes in short-term asset composition.
Current assets: Current assets increased notably in 2018 to 5,722 million US dollars, which appears driven by the spike in cash and equivalents and possibly new marketable securities, but reverted to 3,238 million US dollars in 2019, still slightly higher than the amounts prior to 2018.
Property, plant and equipment, net: The net value of property, plant, and equipment showed a declining trend from 40,547 million US dollars in 2015 to 36,419 million US dollars in 2019, indicating asset depreciation or disposals exceeding acquisitions during the period.
Investments: Investments increased steadily from 6,040 million US dollars in 2015 to 7,759 million US dollars in 2019, suggesting ongoing capital deployment or valuation increases in long-term holdings.
Goodwill: Goodwill decreased gradually from 23,790 million US dollars in 2015 to 21,451 million US dollars in 2019, reflecting possible impairment charges or divestitures impacting intangible asset balances.
Other intangibles, net: A downward trend in other intangibles was observed, declining from 3,551 million US dollars in 2015 to 2,676 million US dollars in 2019, consistent with amortization or asset write-downs.
Deferred income taxes: Deferred income taxes reduced markedly from 5,323 million US dollars in 2015 to 857 million US dollars in 2019, suggesting changes in tax positions, utilization of deferred tax assets, or adjustments in tax regulations.
Deferred charges and other assets: This category showed fluctuation, starting at 2,029 million US dollars in 2015, dropping, and then slightly increasing to 1,757 million US dollars in 2019, possibly reflecting varying capitalization of expenses or other adjustments.
Non-current assets: Non-current assets showed a steady decline from 81,280 million US dollars in 2015 to 70,919 million US dollars in 2019, denoting asset depreciation, disposals, or impairment effects over the years.
Total assets: Total assets decreased from 84,104 million US dollars in 2015 to 74,157 million US dollars in 2019, reflecting overall asset base contraction primarily driven by decreases in property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and deferred tax assets, partially offset by growth in investments and marketable securities.
