Cash and equivalents
The proportion of cash and equivalents relative to total assets exhibited notable volatility over the observed period. It increased from 6.55% in 2020 to a peak of 8.74% in 2021, then declined sharply to 1.97% by 2024, suggesting a substantial reduction in liquid assets as a percentage of the asset base in the most recent year.
Accounts and notes receivable
This category remained relatively stable, fluctuating modestly between 3.48% and 4.43% over the five-year span. The values suggest consistent management of receivables relative to total assets, with no significant upward or downward trend.
Inventories, at cost, not in excess of market
Inventories consistently accounted for a very small fraction of total assets, remaining around 0.1% throughout all years, indicating minimal investment or low inventory levels relative to overall assets.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
This component showed a gradual upward trend, rising from 1.2% in 2020 to 1.95% in 2024. This increase indicates a higher allocation towards prepaid or other current assets as a proportion of total assets.
Current assets
The overall percentage of current assets relative to total assets demonstrated fluctuation, increasing from 11.86% in 2020 to 14.22% in 2023 before decreasing sharply to 8.33% in 2024. This suggests a reduction in short-term asset allocation in the latest year after a period of growth.
Investments in and advances to affiliates
The share of investments and advances to affiliates decreased steadily from 2.46% in 2020 to 1.92% in 2023, then rose sharply to 4.91% in 2024, indicating a significant increase in related-party investments or loans in the most recent year.
Goodwill
Goodwill as a proportion of total assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating narrowly between 5.17% and 5.75% over the five years, which points to consistent intangible asset valuation relative to total assets.
Miscellaneous
This category exhibited continuous growth from 6.7% in 2020 to 11.04% in 2024, indicating an increasing allocation or recognition of miscellaneous assets proportionate to the total asset base.
Other assets
There was a marked increase in other assets, rising from 14.44% to 21.65% over the period, reflecting a growing share of these assets within the company's structure.
Operating lease right-of-use asset, net
The relative size of operating lease right-of-use assets declined steadily from 26.28% in 2020 to 20.51% in 2024, suggesting a reduction in the company's operating lease obligations or a reclassification of associated assets.
Net property and equipment
Net property and equipment showed minor fluctuations but remained the largest single asset category, ranging from 44.36% to 47.42%. This indicates stable investment in physical long-lived assets relative to total assets.
Finance lease right-of-use asset, net
This asset class appeared starting in 2022 at 3%, then increased modestly to 3.66% by 2024, representing a growing recognition or classification of finance lease right-of-use assets.
Net property and equipment, including finance lease right-of-use asset
When combined with finance lease right-of-use assets, this category increased from 47.42% in 2020 to nearly 49.5% in 2024, reflecting a slight growth in tangible asset representation.
Long-term assets
The proportion of long-term assets declined from 88.14% in 2020 to a low of 85.78% in 2023, before rising again to 91.67% in 2024. This indicates variability in the company's investment in long-term assets, with a notable increase in the latest year.
Total assets
All asset categories are expressed as percentages summing to 100% for each year, providing a comprehensive composition view without changes in total asset size percentage.
