Cash and cash equivalents: Cash levels fluctuated over the observed period, beginning at $259 million in March 2015, reaching a notable peak of $3,459 million in September 2018, then sharply decreasing to $185 million by December 2019 before increasing again to $360 million in March 2020. This suggests a period of significant cash accumulation around late 2018 followed by utilization or outflows in subsequent quarters.
Restricted deposits: Restricted deposits showed sparse data with a significant value of $888 million in September 2016, followed by a gradual decline to $24 million by December 2019. The sudden spike and subsequent decrease could indicate short-term regulatory or contractual restrictions that were resolved or reduced over time.
Marketable securities at fair value: Marketable securities were only reported once, with a large value of $925 million in December 2019, indicating an acquisition or reclassification occurred in this quarter.
Accounts receivable, net: Accounts receivable remained relatively stable, oscillating between approximately $1,200 million and $1,500 million throughout the period. A slight decline was observed from early 2015 to mid-2017, followed by moderate recovery, ending at $1,186 million in March 2020, suggesting effective management of receivables with some fluctuations consistent with operational cycles.
Fair value of derivative contracts: This asset decreased from $561 million in March 2015 to a low of $51 million in March 2018, showing a general downtrend, then increased again sharply to $448 million by March 2020. The pattern indicates changing derivative positions or revaluations linked to market conditions or hedging strategies.
Inventories: Inventories declined from $453 million in March 2015 to a low of $325 million in September 2016, then experienced periods of recovery and decline, ending at $307 million in March 2020. The general trend reflects an overall reduction in inventory levels over the long term, possibly indicating efficiency improvements or shifts in operational needs.
Deferred income taxes (current): Current deferred income taxes were reported only until September 2015, decreasing from $56 million to $50 million with no further data, suggesting this line was discontinued or reclassified.
Other current assets: Other current assets exhibited variability, starting at $540 million in March 2015, declining to a low near $196 million in September 2017, rising again to $417 million in June 2018, and then generally decreasing to $213 million by March 2020. This pattern points to fluctuating short-term asset components, potentially linked to cyclical operational factors.
Current assets: Overall current assets decreased from $3,289 million in March 2015 to $2,481 million by March 2016, then saw a marked increase to $5,766 million in September 2018, followed by a sharp decline to $3,096 million by March 2020. The increase corresponds with the cash spike observed in the same period, indicating temporary liquidity accumulation.
Property, plant and equipment, net: Net property, plant, and equipment remained relatively stable, fluctuating slightly around the $40 billion mark in early periods, but declined to $36 billion by March 2020. This subtle downward trend may reflect depreciation, disposals, or limited reinvestment.
Investments: Investments showed a general upward trajectory from $6,011 million in March 2015 to a peak of $8,387 million in September 2019, before a slight decline to $7,886 million in March 2020. This steady increase suggests accumulation or appreciation in investment holdings over time.
Goodwill: Goodwill decreased gradually from $24,907 million in March 2015 to $20,851 million in March 2020, highlighting possible impairments, disposals, or restructuring activities impacting this intangible asset.
Other intangibles, net: This item steadily decreased from $3,762 million in March 2015 to $2,616 million in March 2020, indicating amortization or write-downs over time.
Deferred income taxes (non-current): Non-current deferred income tax assets declined markedly from $5,545 million in March 2015 to $845 million in March 2020, suggesting utilization or expiration of deferred tax assets.
Deferred charges and other assets: These assets fluctuated moderately between about $2,361 million at the start and $2,195 million at the end of the period, with some variability, possibly reflecting changes in long-term prepaid expenses or other long-term assets.
Non-current assets: Non-current assets slightly decreased from $82,875 million in March 2015 to $70,434 million in March 2020, consistent with declines seen in property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangibles, and deferred tax assets.
Total assets: Total assets declined over the time frame, from $86,164 million in March 2015 to $73,530 million in March 2020, driven primarily by reductions in non-current assets and fluctuations in current assets.
