Cash and cash equivalents
Throughout the observed period, the proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets exhibited a fluctuating trend. Initial values around 14-20% shifted downward notably during mid-2014 to mid-2015, dropping as low as approximately 5.3%. Subsequently, it saw partial recoveries with moderate increases toward early 2018, stabilizing near 10-13%.
Short-term investments
This category remained a relatively minor component of total assets, generally staying below 1.5%. Notable was a decline starting in early 2014, with some periods exhibiting missing data. Overall, the share of short-term investments showed a gradual reduction with intermittent small upticks but did not regain earlier levels.
Trade receivables, net
Trade receivables as a percentage of total assets displayed marked volatility across quarters. Peaks reaching approximately 18% were typically followed by declines near 9-10%. The cycle of sharp increases and decreases suggests seasonality or fluctuations in sales or credit policies. Toward the end of the series, values hovered between 9 and 12%, indicating variability but no strong long-term upward or downward trend.
Miscellaneous receivables
The asset share for miscellaneous receivables showed relative stability, ranging mostly between 2.8% and 4.6%, with some modest increments over time. The slight upward tendency, especially apparent post-2013, may reflect changes in other receivable structures or expanded categories under this classification.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets ranged generally between 2% and 3.5% during the periods with available data. A modest increase is observable in certain years prior to some missing values in later quarters. This suggests some fluctuation but no decisive trend due to incomplete data toward the end of the period.
Inventory, net
Inventory consistently represented a significant portion of total assets, frequently around 15-18%. Between 2011 and 2018, there was an upward drift, with peaks near 19%, indicating possible inventory buildup or strategic stock increases. Despite some quarter-to-quarter variations, overall inventory levels remained elevated relative to other current assets.
Assets held for sale
This category data are absent for the majority of the period but emerge from early 2016 onward, showing a small proportion declining from around 1.4% to below 0.2%. This pattern indicates a reduction in assets classified for sale during the latter part of the timeline.
Other current assets
Other current assets fluctuated mildly between 0.7% and 2.2%, with a gradual increase observed especially around 2015 to 2017. This suggests some growth or reclassification of assets under this item, contributing modestly to current assets but without dramatic shifts.
Current assets
Current assets as a percentage of total assets were relatively stable, generally hovering between approximately 40% and 53%. Noticeable is a downward trend post-2013, declining from peaks above 50% to near 40% by late 2017, implying a strategic reallocation toward noncurrent assets or changes in working capital structure.
Property, plant and equipment (PPE)
PPE maintained a substantial share of total assets, fluctuating mostly between 39% and 57%. The net PPE after accumulated depreciation showed a consistent gradual increase from around 20.7% to nearly 27.8% by late 2017, indicating steady capital investment and asset retention.
Accumulated depreciation
Accumulated depreciation relative to total assets deepened over time, moving from about -21% to nearly -30%, reflecting ongoing asset aging and usage, consistent with increasing net PPE values implying asset additions alongside accumulated wear.
Goodwill
Goodwill accounted for a significant and somewhat stable component, mostly in the 15-20% range. While slight oscillations occurred, the overall magnitude remained fairly steady, suggesting that intangible asset valuations derived from acquisitions were maintained without major write-downs.
Other intangible assets, net
Other intangible assets exhibited a slight downward trend, decreasing from around 6.4% to approximately 4.3%, reflecting amortization and possibly limited new intangible asset additions during the timeframe.
Noncurrent deferred tax assets
These assets showed a broad decline from over 4% down to near 1.2-3.1%, albeit with some recovery attempts. This variability may indicate changes in tax positions or realizability assumptions associated with deferred tax balances.
Long-term receivables, net
Long-term receivables diminished significantly from approximately 2% of total assets to below 0.6%, with some minor recoveries. This reduction points to a declining emphasis on such assets or successful collections over time.
Other assets
Other assets remained relatively consistent, around 2.3% to 4.5%, with a slight increase towards the latter years. This minor growth could be related to asset reclassifications or expansions in less significant asset categories.
Noncurrent assets
Noncurrent assets as a whole showed an upward shift from about 46% to nearly 59%, reflecting a strategic concentration in longer-term investments, property, and intangible assets. This trend aligns with the declining share of current assets noted earlier, indicating a shifting asset allocation.
Total assets
The total assets are consistently represented as 100%, serving as the baseline for all relative comparisons in the dataset.
