The composition of the asset base demonstrates a gradual shift toward increased liquidity and a higher concentration of intangible value, specifically goodwill, over the five-year period ending December 31, 2023.

Current Asset Composition
Current assets increased from 39.26% of total assets in 2019 to 42.93% in 2023. This growth is largely supported by cash and cash equivalents, which peaked at 15.37% in 2021 before stabilizing at 12.78% in 2023. Inventories experienced a notable expansion, rising from 4.20% in 2019 to a peak of 8.23% in 2022, before moderating to 6.20% in 2023. Accounts receivable remained relatively stable throughout the period, fluctuating within a narrow range between 11.37% and 13.27%.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
A pronounced upward trend is observed in goodwill, which increased from 19.42% of total assets in 2019 to 25.50% in 2023, suggesting a strategic emphasis on acquisitions. In contrast, net intangible assets showed a general decline, moving from 12.47% in 2019 to 9.41% in 2023, indicating that the growth in the total asset base has outpaced the growth of identifiable intangible assets or that amortization has reduced their relative weight.
Non-Current Physical and Financial Assets
Property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) exhibited a steady downward trend, decreasing from 9.32% of total assets in 2019 to 7.23% in 2023. Right-of-use operating lease assets similarly declined from 5.21% to 3.71% over the same timeframe. Deferred income taxes remained a consistent component of the balance sheet, fluctuating within a tight band between 7.51% and 8.88%.
Other Long-Term Assets
Defined benefit plan assets saw a significant contraction in the latter years of the analysis, falling from a high of 2.99% in 2021 to 0.73% in 2023. Strategic investments and equity method investments remained marginal, both representing less than 0.25% of total assets by the end of 2023.
