Balance Sheet: Assets
Quarterly Data
The balance sheet provides creditors, investors, and analysts with information on company resources (assets) and its sources of capital (its equity and liabilities). It normally also provides information about the future earnings capacity of a company assets as well as an indication of cash flows that may come from receivables and inventories.
Assets are resources controlled by the company as a result of past events and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the entity.

Total assets exhibited a general upward trajectory over the analyzed period, growing from 10.88 billion USD in March 2019 to 14.35 billion USD by March 2024. This expansion was driven by a combination of increased operational investments and fluctuations in liquidity management.
- Current Asset Dynamics
- Current assets grew from 4.38 billion USD in March 2019 to 6.36 billion USD in March 2024. A notable surge in liquidity occurred between March 2020 and December 2021, where cash and cash equivalents peaked at 3.66 billion USD in June 2021, before normalizing to 1.98 billion USD by the end of the period. Inventories demonstrated the most consistent growth among current assets, increasing from 1.36 billion USD in March 2019 to 2.65 billion USD in March 2024, suggesting an expansion in production capacity or strategic stockpiling to support revenue growth. Accounts receivable also trended upward, rising from 970 million USD to 1.29 billion USD, reflecting an increase in credit sales over time.
- Noncurrent Asset Trends
- Noncurrent assets increased from 6.50 billion USD in March 2019 to 7.99 billion USD in March 2024. The primary driver of this growth was Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E), which nearly doubled from 1.68 billion USD to 3.25 billion USD. This indicates significant capital expenditure in tangible infrastructure. Conversely, identifiable intangible assets showed a steady decline from 1.99 billion USD in March 2019 to 1.30 billion USD in March 2024, a pattern consistent with scheduled amortization. Goodwill remained relatively stable, fluctuating within a narrow range between 2.50 billion USD and 2.76 billion USD.
- Structural Composition Shifts
- The asset base has shifted toward a higher concentration of tangible operational assets. While the early period showed a higher reliance on intangible assets and goodwill, the later periods are characterized by a substantial increase in PP&E and inventories. This transition suggests a shift from acquisition-based growth toward organic capacity expansion. Additionally, noncurrent deferred tax assets showed a marked increase toward the end of the period, rising from 65 million USD in March 2019 to 232 million USD in March 2024.
