1 US$ in millions
- Current Assets
- The current assets exhibit a general upward trend over the observed period with some fluctuations. Starting at 8,845 million USD in 2005, they grow steadily to 16,825 million USD by 2018. A significant increase is noted in 2019, reaching 28,124 million USD, followed by a peak in 2021 at 35,251 million USD. Afterwards, there is a decline to 25,241 million USD in 2024. This pattern suggests periods of asset expansion likely aligned with strategic investments or acquisitions, followed by a contraction possibly due to disposals, asset reclassification, or usage.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities demonstrate variability without a clear consistent upward or downward trajectory. Initially, liabilities were 9,168 million USD in 2005, rising to a peak of 19,595 million USD in 2017. Thereafter, they fluctuate considerably, reaching a high of 34,599 million USD in 2024. This volatility indicates changes in short-term obligations that may reflect operational cycles, financing activities, or shifts in working capital management.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio trends reveal notable instability over the period. Values hover around the 1.0 mark in the early years, indicating near parity between current assets and current liabilities. A peak occurs in 2009 at 1.33, signifying a stronger liquidity position. From 2013 onward, the ratio declines, reaching a low of 0.73 in 2024, which could indicate tightened liquidity and potential challenges in meeting short-term obligations. The dip below 1.0 in the recent years suggests a riskier liquidity profile compared to earlier periods.
- Summary of Liquidity Trends
- Despite growth in current assets, the proportionally larger increase and fluctuations in current liabilities, combined with the decline in the current ratio, highlight increasing pressure on short-term liquidity. The company's ability to cover its short-term liabilities with current assets appears to weaken in the latter years. This trend could warrant further analysis of cash flow management, working capital efficiency, and short-term debt obligations to assess financial health and operational flexibility.
