Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2017-12-31).


Total assets exhibited a general upward trajectory over the five-year period, increasing from 18.63 billion US dollars in 2017 to 22.04 billion US dollars by 2021. While there was a slight contraction in total asset value in 2019, the overall trend reflects an expansion of the balance sheet, driven primarily by growth in both current and noncurrent asset categories.

Current Asset Volatility
Current assets experienced a period of decline between 2017 and 2020, falling from 4.62 billion US dollars to 3.52 billion US dollars. However, a substantial reversal occurred in 2021, with current assets surging to 5.33 billion US dollars. This late-period spike is largely attributable to significant increases in receivables, which grew from 881.1 million US dollars in 2020 to 1.53 billion US dollars in 2021, and inventories, which rose from 1.74 billion US dollars in 2020 to 2.74 billion US dollars in 2021.
Liquidity and Cash Management
A marked reduction in liquidity is observed in the early part of the period. Cash and cash equivalents dropped sharply from 2.15 billion US dollars in 2017 to a low of 519.1 million US dollars in 2019. Although a gradual recovery began in 2020, the cash balance remained significantly below 2017 levels, ending at 769.5 million US dollars in 2021.
Long-term Capital Investment
Property, plant, and equipment (net) showed consistent growth, rising from 9.71 billion US dollars in 2017 to 12.48 billion US dollars in 2021. This steady increase indicates a sustained commitment to capital expenditures and the expansion of physical infrastructure over the five-year horizon.
Intangible and Deferred Assets
Goodwill remained stable at approximately 1.7 billion US dollars through 2018 before undergoing a reduction to 1.16 billion US dollars in 2019, after which it remained flat. Conversely, deferred income taxes showed a significant upward trend, increasing from 254.6 million US dollars in 2017 to a peak of 1.18 billion US dollars in 2020, before settling at 997.1 million US dollars in 2021.
Other Noncurrent Asset Trends
Investments in nonconsolidated companies followed a general downward trend, decreasing from 1.09 billion US dollars in 2017 to 691.8 million US dollars in 2021. Other assets and restricted cash remained relatively low and stable in comparison to the primary drivers of the balance sheet.
