Balance Sheet: Assets
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Total assets exhibited a general upward trajectory over the analyzed period, increasing from 160,608 million USD in March 2021 to 170,431 million USD by March 2026. This growth was primarily driven by a substantial expansion in current assets, while long-term assets experienced a gradual decline.
- Current Asset Trends
- Current assets grew from 42,552 million USD to 60,009 million USD, representing a significant increase in working capital. This expansion is characterized by three primary drivers: contract assets, which rose from 10,238 million USD to 18,070 million USD; inventory, which increased from 9,498 million USD to 14,153 million USD; and net accounts receivable, which climbed from 10,037 million USD to 12,945 million USD. These trends suggest an increase in operational volume and potentially higher production levels or order backlogs.
- Cash and cash equivalents demonstrated volatility, fluctuating between a high of 8,579 million USD in March 2021 and a low of 4,767 million USD in June 2022, before stabilizing in the 5,000 to 7,000 million USD range toward the end of the period.
- Long-term Asset Composition
- Long-term assets decreased from 118,056 million USD in March 2021 to 110,422 million USD in March 2026. The most notable decline occurred within net intangible assets, which dropped steadily from 39,999 million USD to 31,482 million USD, likely reflecting consistent amortization.
- Net fixed assets showed a modest upward trend, increasing from 14,742 million USD to 16,842 million USD. This growth occurred despite a continuous increase in accumulated depreciation, which grew from 11,812 million USD to 18,839 million USD, indicating ongoing capital expenditure in property, plant, and equipment.
- Goodwill remained relatively stable, hovering between 52,789 million USD and 54,436 million USD throughout the period, suggesting an absence of significant new acquisitions or major impairment charges.
The overall balance sheet structure reveals a shift toward higher liquidity and operational asset intensity. The growth in contract assets and inventory, paired with the amortization of intangible assets, indicates a transition where value is increasingly held in active operational cycles rather than static long-term intangible holdings.
