The asset composition shows a structural shift over the six-year period, characterized by an increase in the proportion of current assets and a corresponding decline in non-current assets. Total current assets rose from 27.98% in 2017 to 35.33% in 2022, while non-current assets decreased from 72.02% to 64.67%.

Liquidity and Cash Management
Cash and cash equivalents demonstrated significant volatility, decreasing from 14.53% in 2017 to a low of 10.80% in 2019, before surging to 20.13% in 2020 and stabilizing at 18.35% by 2022. This indicates a substantial increase in the company's liquidity position relative to its total asset base in the latter half of the period.
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
A consistent downward trend is observed in net intangible assets, which fell from 40.97% of total assets in 2017 to 29.32% in 2022. This suggests a systematic reduction in the relative weight of amortizable intangible assets. Conversely, goodwill remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow range between 19.25% and 22.23%.
Client Incentives and Receivables
There is a notable increase in the allocation toward client incentives. Non-current client incentives grew from 0.87% in 2017 to 3.92% in 2022, while current portion incentives rose from 0.51% to 1.49%. Settlement and accounts receivables remained relatively low and stable, generally staying below 5% of total assets combined.
Fixed and Other Non-Current Assets
Property, equipment, and technology, net, maintained a consistent proportion of the balance sheet, remaining between 3.28% and 3.77% throughout the period. Other assets showed a gradual increase, moving from 1.80% in 2017 to 4.37% in 2022.
