The asset structure exhibits a profound shift in liquidity and capital allocation between 2017 and 2022, characterized by a transition from a lean operating model to a high-cash position during a period of global crisis, followed by a gradual normalization process.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Cash and cash equivalents maintained a minimal presence, remaining below 1.1% of total assets from March 2017 through December 2019. A sharp escalation began in March 2020, with the cash ratio jumping to 11.63% and peaking at 14.82% in March 2021. This surge drove the total current assets ratio from a historical range of 3% to 5% up to a peak of 16.45% in early 2021. By June 2022, the cash ratio declined to 6.19%, suggesting a systematic utilization of liquidity reserves.
Fixed Asset Dominance and Volatility
Property and equipment, net, constitute the vast majority of the asset base, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of the industry. This item represented approximately 88% to 90% of total assets through 2017. A downward trend in its relative weight is observed starting in late 2018, reaching a trough of 75.10% in March 2021. This decline is largely a mathematical result of the significant increase in cash assets rather than a divestment of physical assets. A recovery trend is evident by mid-2022, with the ratio returning to 81.18%.
Intangible Assets and Accounting Adjustments
Goodwill showed stability at approximately 1.3% until September 2018, where it spiked to 5.07%. This elevated level persisted until March 2020, when the ratio dropped to 2.42% and remained relatively flat through June 2022, suggesting a potential impairment or a significant increase in other asset classes. Additionally, operating lease right-of-use assets appeared in the first quarter of 2019 at 2.71%, likely reflecting the adoption of new accounting standards. These assets remained stable between 1.6% and 1.8% for the remainder of the period.
Non-Current Asset Composition
Non-current assets historically dominated the balance sheet, accounting for over 96% of total assets until 2019. During the liquidity surge of 2020 and 2021, the relative weight of non-current assets dropped to a low of 83.55% in March 2021. As the proportion of current assets normalized, non-current assets trended upward again, reaching 89.51% by June 2022.
