The asset composition exhibits a significant shift in liquidity and operational investment over the analyzed period. A notable transition is observed from a period of high liquidity during 2020 and 2021 toward a more balanced distribution between current and long-term assets by 2026. The overall structure remains dominated by operating lease right-of-use assets and merchandise inventories, reflecting the capital-intensive nature of the retail business model.

Liquidity and Cash Management
Cash and cash equivalents experienced a substantial surge, rising from 16.87% in May 2020 to a peak of 33.98% in January 2021. This indicates a period of aggressive liquidity accumulation. Subsequently, a downward trend occurred, with cash levels normalizing to a range between 13% and 19% from 2022 through 2026. Current assets, which peaked at 52.76% in October 2020, have since stabilized, generally fluctuating between 40% and 45% of total assets.
Inventory Trends
Merchandise inventories show a general upward trajectory and significant seasonal volatility. After dipping to 14.08% in January 2021, inventories reached a high of 29.30% in October 2022. A consistent pattern of expansion is observed in the fourth quarter of each year, typically peaking between 25% and 27% of total assets, which aligns with seasonal inventory build-up for peak retail periods.
Fixed and Long-Term Asset Allocation
Net property at cost demonstrates a steady growth trend, increasing from a low of 15.86% in October 2020 to 23.36% by May 2026, suggesting a sustained increase in investment in physical infrastructure. Conversely, operating lease right-of-use assets, while remaining a primary asset component, declined from an initial 35.70% to fluctuate between 28% and 32% in later years. Total long-term assets recovered from a period low of 47.24% in 2020 to finish at 59.51% in May 2026.
Other Asset Components
Accounts receivable remains a negligible portion of the balance sheet, consistently hovering between 0.68% and 2.14%, which is characteristic of a cash-and-carry retail operation. Goodwill and non-current deferred income taxes also remain marginal, contributing less than 1% each to the total asset base throughout the entire period.
