The asset structure is characterized by a heavy concentration in noncurrent assets, which peaked at 82.21% of total assets in 2020 before retreating to 75.83% in 2021. Conversely, current assets experienced a period of contraction from 24.78% in 2017 to a low of 17.79% in 2020, followed by a sharp recovery to 24.17% in 2021. This volatility suggests significant shifts in working capital management and capital allocation over the five-year period.
- Liquidity and Working Capital
- A marked reduction in cash and cash equivalents is observed, falling from 11.56% of total assets in 2017 to 3.49% by 2021. This decline in immediate liquidity is offset by a steady increase in net receivables, which grew from 3.45% to 6.95% over the same period. Inventories exhibit cyclical behavior, peaking at 12.44% in 2021 after reaching a period low of 8.79% in 2020, indicating a buildup of stock relative to the total asset base in the final year of analysis.
- Fixed and Long-term Assets
- Property, plant, and equipment, net, constitutes the largest component of the balance sheet, maintaining a dominant position between 52.12% and 60.57%. The relative weight of these assets increased through 2019 before slightly declining to 56.61% in 2021. Investments in nonconsolidated companies showed a consistent downward trend, decreasing from 5.85% in 2017 to 3.14% in 2021, reflecting a reduced proportional exposure to these entities.
- Intangibles and Deferred Items
- Goodwill has seen a continuous decline as a percentage of total assets, moving from 9.09% in 2017 to 5.32% in 2021. In contrast, deferred income taxes experienced significant growth, rising from 1.37% in 2017 to a peak of 5.96% in 2020, before moderating to 4.52% in 2021. Other noncurrent assets remained relatively stable, while restricted cash and restricted marketable securities held in trust stayed low and consistent, generally ranging between 3% and 4% combined.
