Cash and cash equivalents: There is a noticeable fluctuation over the periods, with significant declines observed from March 2011 through mid-2013, reaching a low of 500 million USD. A recovery pattern emerges toward the end of 2013 and into early 2016, culminating in a sharp increase to 2,885 million USD by September 2016, indicating improved liquidity or possible cash inflows during the latter period.
Accounts and notes receivable, net: Values show a generally stable trend with slight increases over the periods. The receivables increased from around 311 million USD in early 2011 to 440 million USD by September 2016, suggesting steady sales growth or extended credit terms.
Inventories: Inventory levels demonstrate moderate volatility, rising from 156 million USD in early 2011 to peaks around 305 million USD in mid-2012, followed by a general downward trend with fluctuations, settling at 255 million USD by September 2016. This may reflect varying demand cycles or inventory management adjustments.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets: This category experiences variation without a clear trend, starting at 264 million USD and moving between 227 million and 332 million USD throughout the periods, indicating variable prepayments or other short-term asset fluctuations without major accumulative growth.
Short-term investments: Data is mostly missing except for a rise from 10 million USD to 234 million USD and then 326 million USD within 2013 to 2014, suggesting a tentative move to increase short-term investment holdings before data gaps appear again.
Deferred income taxes (current): This item trends upward from 59 million USD in early 2011 to 127 million USD in early 2014 before fluctuating and missing data in the latter periods. It signals an overall increase in deferred tax assets/liabilities, with some instability over time.
Advertising cooperative assets, restricted: There are fluctuations throughout the time series, with values oscillating between a low of 57 million USD and a high of 139 million USD, showing no sustained upward or downward trend, likely tied to advertising-related capital or cooperative agreements.
Current assets: Current assets display volatility, starting at 2,436 million USD and peaking inconsistently, dropping substantially during mid-2013 and rebounding thereafter. The latest figure at September 2016 of 4,003 million USD represents a notable increase, indicating strengthened short-term asset positions.
Property, plant and equipment, net: This asset class remains relatively stable, with a slow declining trend from 3,852 million USD in early 2011 to 4,010 million USD in late 2016 after minor fluctuations, suggesting steady capital expenditure offset by depreciation.
Goodwill: Goodwill shows an increase from 669 million USD in early 2011, peaking at 1,110 million USD in mid-2013, followed by a decline to 635 million USD by late 2016, pointing to potential impairments or divestitures affecting intangible values.
Intangible assets, net: Intangible assets exhibit a spike from 408 million USD to 811 million USD between 2011 and 2012, then a steady decline to 258 million USD by late 2016. This pattern corresponds with goodwill changes and likely reflects amortization or impairment charges.
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates: Values fluctuate significantly, with no clear trend, ranging approximately between 29 million USD and 64 million USD, indicating selective investment activities and varying performance of affiliated companies.
Restricted cash: Reported as 300 million USD consistently for a short period around 2011-2012, with no further data provided afterward, implying a temporary allocation of funds under restrictions during that timeframe.
Other assets: Other assets are relatively steady, ranging between 486 million USD and 575 million USD, with no definitive upward or downward trajectory, suggesting stable backing assets or accruals.
Deferred income taxes (noncurrent): This obligation or asset grows from 419 million USD in early 2011 to a high of 900 million USD by September 2016, demonstrating an increasing deferred tax position over the periods.
Noncurrent assets: Overall noncurrent assets increase from 5,990 million USD to a peak above 7,000 million USD mid-period, before falling back to around 6,429 million USD by late 2016. This pattern points to asset acquisitions followed by disposals or depreciation effects.
Total assets: Total assets maintain a generally increasing trajectory from 8,426 million USD in early 2011 to a peak of 9,343 million USD in early 2012, followed by relative stability near 8,000-9,000 million USD for several years. A sharp increase to 10,432 million USD is observed by September 2016, reflecting growth in asset base, possibly due to acquisitions, investment increases, or accumulated retained earnings.
