- Current Assets
- The current assets show a generally upward trend over the analyzed period from 2012 to 2023, rising from $2,864 million to a peak of $7,506 million in 2022 before declining to $6,343 million in 2023. There were consistent increases year-over-year except for minor decreases observed in 2016 and more notably in 2023. The largest increases occurred between 2019 and 2021, indicating significant growth or accumulation of short-term resources during this timeframe.
- Current Liabilities
- Current liabilities fluctuated across the years without a clear linear trend. Starting at $1,123 million in 2012, liabilities rose sharply in several years, including a notable increase in 2015 and again in 2022, where they reached a high of $3,167 million before decreasing in 2023 to $1,889 million. These fluctuations suggest varying short-term obligations possibly influenced by operational or financing activities.
- Current Ratio
- The current ratio exhibits variability throughout the period. It started at 2.55 in 2012, peaked at 3.86 in 2021, and slightly decreased to 3.36 in 2023. The ratio remained consistently above 2.0, indicating a strong liquidity position, with a few exceptions where the ratio dipped closer to 2.15 in 2015. Periodic decreases correspond with years where current liabilities increased sharply, highlighting some pressure on liquidity. The overall trend points to maintained liquidity strength with some volatility.
- Summary Insights
- The company maintained a generally strong liquidity position from 2012 to 2023, supported by rising current assets and generally prudent management of current liabilities despite occasional fluctuations. The current ratio indicates the firm has consistently preserved its ability to cover short-term obligations with current assets, although variability suggests periods of financial adjustment. The drop in current assets in 2023 alongside a reduction in current liabilities resulted in a slight strengthening of the current ratio compared to the previous year, reflecting a possible recalibration of short-term asset and liability levels.
