Total assets exhibit a consistent growth trajectory, increasing from $61.79 billion in March 2021 to $69.64 billion by March 2026. This expansion is primarily driven by a steady increase in long-term capital investments, while current assets remain relatively stable with periodic fluctuations.

Liquidity and Current Asset Trends
Cash and cash equivalents demonstrate significant quarterly volatility, with peaks reaching $1.41 billion in March 2024 and lows descending to $735 million in March 2026. A shift in liquidity management is observable in the final two quarters, characterized by the introduction of short-term investments totaling $300 million by March 2026.
Accounts receivable, net, show a gradual upward trend, rising from $1.61 billion in March 2021 to $1.99 billion in March 2026, suggesting a growth in credit-based revenue or an increase in billing cycles.
Materials and supplies have remained relatively range-bound, though a slight long-term increase is noted, moving from $659 million to $838 million over the analyzed period.
Long-term Asset Composition
Properties, net, represent the most substantial component of the balance sheet and the primary driver of total asset growth. This figure increased steadily from $54.06 billion in March 2021 to $59.96 billion in March 2026, reflecting continuous capital expenditure in infrastructure.
Operating lease assets exhibit a persistent downward trend, declining from $1.58 billion in March 2021 to $907 million in March 2026, indicating a reduction in the company's reliance on leased assets.
Other assets experienced a significant structural increase, rising from $264 million in early 2021 to $1.61 billion by March 2026, with a notable step-up occurring between September and December 2021.
Investments grew consistently from $2.17 billion to $2.95 billion, contributing to the overall expansion of the long-term asset base.

The balance sheet reflects a strategic prioritization of fixed asset accumulation. The widening gap between current assets and long-term assets underscores a capital-intensive operational model, where growth is centered on the expansion and maintenance of physical properties rather than the accumulation of liquid current assets.
