Total assets grew from 20.5 billion USD in March 2017 to 36.1 billion USD by March 2022, representing a substantial expansion of the balance sheet over the five-year period. This growth was primarily driven by a significant increase in noncurrent assets, particularly through acquisitions and capital investments, while current assets exhibited higher volatility related to liquidity management.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Cash and cash equivalents demonstrated significant volatility, peaking at 7.1 billion USD in September 2020 before declining to 1.5 billion USD by March 2022. This pattern suggests a period of aggressive liquidity accumulation during 2020, followed by strategic deployment of capital. Accounts receivable followed a steady upward trajectory, rising from 1.9 billion USD in early 2017 to approximately 3.0 billion USD by March 2022, indicating an increase in credit sales or longer collection cycles accompanying revenue growth.
Inventory and Operational Scale
A consistent upward trend is observed in total inventories, which increased from 2.2 billion USD in March 2017 to 3.5 billion USD in March 2022. This growth was largely driven by finished goods, which climbed from 1.6 billion USD to 2.5 billion USD over the same period. The steady rise in materials, supplies, and work-in-process suggests an intentional scaling of production capacity to meet increasing demand.
Fixed Asset Investment
Net property, plant, and equipment grew from 1.7 billion USD in March 2017 to 2.8 billion USD in March 2022. Gross investment in machinery and equipment rose more sharply than land and buildings, moving from 2.5 billion USD to 3.8 billion USD. This indicates a prioritized investment in production technology and manufacturing capabilities over physical real estate expansion.
Intangible Assets and Strategic Acquisitions
The most significant driver of total asset growth was the expansion of goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill increased from 6.4 billion USD in March 2017 to 15.2 billion USD by March 2022, with a notable surge occurring between September 2020 and December 2020. Other intangible assets also trended upward, ending the period at 5.4 billion USD. The magnitude of these increases points to a robust acquisition strategy as a primary engine for corporate growth.

In summary, the asset structure shifted toward a heavier weighting of noncurrent assets, specifically intangibles and goodwill. While the company maintained a scalable operational base through steady increases in inventory and fixed assets, the overall balance sheet expansion was dominated by strategic inorganic growth and fluctuating short-term liquidity positions.
