- Current Assets Composition
- Cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets displayed a fluctuating trend, initially decreasing sharply from 13.21% in March 2011 to a low of 5.94% in September 2012, before partially recovering to stabilize around 7% toward mid-2016. Receivables, net, showed a slight increase from about 11.9% in early 2011 to a peak near 14% in late 2013, after which a consistent decline ensued, reaching approximately 8.6% by mid-2016. Inventories, net, exhibited an overall gradual increase, rising from 15.4% in early 2011 to about 18% by mid-2016, with mild volatility in between. Costs in excess of billings grew steadily from 3.2% in early 2011 to a high near 5.9% at the end of 2014, then declined to about 3.3% by mid-2016. Prepaid and other current assets remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations, generally ranging between 1.3% and 2.0% throughout the period. Collectively, current assets as a percentage of total assets decreased gradually from about 46% in early 2011 to under 39% by mid-2016, indicating a moderate decline in short-term asset holdings relative to the total asset base.
- Noncurrent Assets Structure
- Property, plant, and equipment, net, showed a clear upward trend from around 8% of total assets in early 2011 to nearly 14% by mid-2016, reflecting ongoing investments in fixed assets. Goodwill maintained a dominant proportion in the total assets, ranging between 22.8% and 29.4%, with a modest increase seen particularly after 2013, peaking above 29% in mid-2016. Intangible assets, net, experienced a slight decline from approximately 17.4% in early 2011 to around 13.2%-15.6% during 2014-2016, suggesting amortization or impairment effects over time. Investment in unconsolidated affiliates remained relatively stable, mostly fluctuating slightly above or below 1%, without significant trend changes. Other assets remained minimal but somewhat increased, especially in late 2014 through mid-2016, peaking near 0.6%. Noncurrent assets as a total percentage of assets rose steadily from roughly 54% in early 2011 to over 61% by mid-2016, indicating a growing emphasis on long-term asset investment.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred income taxes had two entries likely representing current and noncurrent portions. The first entry (possibly current deferred tax assets) averaged around 1% with minor variability, while the second entry (likely noncurrent) showed a modest rise from less than 1% in early 2011 to approximately 1.8% by late 2015, followed by a sharp drop below 0.7% in mid-2016. This suggests some reclassification or changes in deferred tax positions toward the end of the period.
- Overall Asset Allocation
- Total assets remained normalized at 100% throughout the periods, enabling direct comparison of internal structural changes. The data reveals a strategic shift from current assets toward noncurrent assets over the five-year span, with capital-intensive fixed assets and goodwill becoming increasingly prominent. Concurrently, liquid assets and receivables as a share of total assets declined, indicating a possible focus on longer-term investments and operational assets rather than short-term liquidity holdings.
