The asset structure of the organization reflects a strategic shift from current asset liquidity toward a heavier concentration of noncurrent assets. Current assets, which fluctuated between 44% and 49% for much of the 2011 to 2014 period, experienced a notable decline starting in 2015, ending at 38.70% by June 30, 2016. In contrast, noncurrent assets grew from 53.62% in March 2011 to 61.30% by June 30, 2016, indicating an increase in the long-term asset base relative to total assets.
- Liquidity and Short-Term Asset Trends
- Cash and cash equivalents exhibited significant volatility, starting at 13.21% and peaking at 15.77% in September 2011 before dropping to a low of 5.94% in September 2012. While there was a moderate recovery through 2014, the ratio settled at 6.98% by June 2016, representing a contraction in immediate liquidity. Receivables remained relatively stable between 11% and 15% for several years but showed a sharp decline in 2016, falling to 8.59%.
- Inventory and Operational Assets
- Inventories, net, showed a general upward trend, increasing from 15.42% in March 2011 to a peak of 20.90% in September 2012, eventually stabilizing around 18.02% by June 2016. Costs in excess of billings peaked between 2014 and 2015, reaching 5.94% in March 2015, before declining to 3.32% by the end of the period.
- Fixed and Long-Term Asset Growth
- Property, plant and equipment, net, demonstrated consistent growth as a percentage of total assets, rising from 8.04% in March 2011 to 13.78% in June 2016. This suggests an increase in capital investment in physical infrastructure over the five-year period.
- Intangible Assets and Goodwill
- Goodwill and intangibles constitute the largest portion of the balance sheet. Goodwill fluctuated but generally trended upward, ending at 29.37% in June 2016 compared to 25.51% at the start of the period. Intangibles, net, followed an opposite trajectory, decreasing from 17.39% in March 2011 to a low of 13.23% in March 2015, before recovering slightly to 15.59% by June 2016.
