Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31).


Cash and Cash Equivalents
The proportion of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets shows variability over the observed periods. It started at 1.16%, declined to a low of 0.21% in 2022, rebounded to 1.26% in 2023, then decreased again to 0.49% in 2024. This suggests fluctuating liquidity positions.
Short-term Investments
There was a notable increase in short-term investments from 6.77% in 2020 to a peak of 16.05% in 2021, followed by a decline to 4.34% in 2023. A partial recovery to 9.11% occurred in 2024. This indicates active management of short-term securities with shifts likely influenced by market conditions or strategic repositioning.
Trade Accounts Receivable
The percentage of trade accounts receivable fluctuated modestly, increasing from 5.14% in 2020 to 6.33% in 2021, then decreasing and stabilizing around 5.37% by 2024. This suggests a relatively stable credit sales volume or consistent collection periods over time.
Inventories
The inventory level as a percentage of total assets showed a slight downward trend from 5.22% in 2020 to 4.5% in 2023, with a rise back to 5.08% in 2024. This reflects minor adjustments in stock management or production cycles.
Current Tax Assets
Current tax assets decreased steadily from 2.12% in 2020 to 1.55% in 2024, indicating a diminishing proportion of recoverable taxes relative to total assets.
Other Current Assets
These assets declined gradually from 2.23% in 2020 to 1.99% in 2024, suggesting a reduction in miscellaneous current asset categories or improved asset utilization.
Current Assets
The total current assets exhibited significant variation: starting at 22.74% in 2020, rising sharply to 32.89% in 2021, then dropping to 19.13% in 2023, before recovering somewhat to 23.6% in 2024. This volatility reflects shifts in liquidity and working capital management.
Equity-method Investments
There was a marked decline in equity-method investments from 10.93% in 2020 to a minimal 0.1% in 2024. This could indicate disposals, impairments, or strategic shifts away from equity investments in affiliates or joint ventures.
Long-term Investments
Long-term investments decreased progressively from 2.21% in 2020 to 0.94% in 2024, suggesting divestment or reclassification of these assets over time.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
This asset category remained relatively stable, fluctuating slightly around 8% of total assets, with a small increase to 8.62% in 2024. This reflects consistent investment in or maintenance of fixed assets.
Identifiable Intangible Assets, Net
The proportion of identifiable intangible assets showed substantial growth, rising from 18.46% in 2020 to a peak of 28.65% in 2023, then slightly declining to 25.97% in 2024. This indicates considerable acquisition or development of intangible assets such as patents or trademarks during the period.
Goodwill
Goodwill as a percentage of total assets decreased from 32.15% in 2020 to 26.05% in 2022, then increased again to 32.11% by 2024. This suggests fluctuations likely related to acquisitions or impairments.
Noncurrent Deferred Tax Assets and Other Noncurrent Tax Assets
These assets showed variation, rising from 1.55% in 2020 to 4.06% in 2024, with some oscillation in intermediate years. This may reflect changes in deferred tax recognition or tax strategy adjustments.
Other Noncurrent Assets
Other noncurrent assets increased from 2.96% in 2020 to a peak of 6.68% in 2022, then decreased to 4.6% in 2024. This indicates active management or reclassification of miscellaneous long-term assets.
Noncurrent Assets
The overall proportion of noncurrent assets showed an increasing trend from 77.26% in 2020 to 80.87% in 2023, then declining to 76.4% in 2024. This reflects a general emphasis on long-term asset holdings throughout the period.
