- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The percentage of cash and cash equivalents relative to total assets fluctuates over the periods, ranging between approximately 5.4% and 13.2%. Notably, peaks appear around April 2021 and April 2024, indicating periods of higher liquidity, while troughs near late 2019 and late 2021 suggest relatively lower cash holdings.
- Marketable Securities
- Marketable securities as a portion of total assets vary without a clear directional trend, oscillating between roughly 3.8% and 9.8%. There are multiple oscillations, with declines notably in mid-2021 and partial recoveries in mid-2024. This suggests a variable investment in liquid securities over time.
- Accounts Receivable, Net
- The proportion of accounts receivable exhibits a recurring seasonal pattern marked by sharp spikes, approximately doubling every fourth quarter (January period), peaking at about 11-11.7%, and dropping to around 4-6% in subsequent quarters. This indicates cyclical revenue recognition or collection patterns linked to fiscal quarters.
- Costs Capitalized to Obtain Revenue Contracts, Net
- This line item shows a mild upward trend with minor fluctuations, starting near 2.4% and modestly increasing to nearly 2% towards the end. The gradual rise signals increasing investments in acquiring revenue contracts over time.
- Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
- The percentage remains relatively stable, typically between 1.2% and 2.2%, with no sustained increasing or decreasing trend. Some minor seasonal variability is apparent, but overall the asset component remains fairly constant.
- Current Assets
- Current assets as a share of total assets demonstrate volatility, with values ranging from below 18% up to about 33%. There are notable dips in late 2019 and mid-2021, coinciding with troughs in cash and marketable securities, potentially reflecting liquidity management or operational cycle effects.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- The share of property and equipment relative to total assets consistently declines from around 6.8% to the low 3% range. This trend suggests either depreciation outweighing new investments or strategic reduction in fixed asset holdings.
- Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets, Net
- This category steadily decreases over the timeline from approximately 8.6% to values near 2%. The decline may indicate downsizing or changes in lease agreements, possibly favoring other asset structures.
- Noncurrent Costs Capitalized to Obtain Revenue Contracts, Net
- These costs fluctuate mildly between about 2.2% and 3.5%, with a small upward drift toward the later periods. The relative stability with a slight increase suggests continued investment in contract acquisition costs on a long-term basis.
- Strategic Investments
- The proportion of strategic investments shows moderate variability around a mean close to 5%, with peaks approaching nearly 6.6% and troughs near 4.7%. This indicates selective adjustments in investment allocations but no dramatic shifts overall.
- Goodwill
- Goodwill constitutes the largest single asset component, ranging chiefly between 39.7% to 54.8%, with pronounced peaks around late 2021 and mid-2024 and declines near early 2021 and early 2024. These fluctuations suggest periodic business combination activities or impairment adjustments.
- Intangible Assets Acquired Through Business Combinations, Net
- Intangible assets initially rise sharply early in the timeframe up to nearly 10%, then show a consistent downward trend to around 4%. This steady decline may imply amortization or revaluations affecting the asset base.
- Deferred Tax Assets and Other Assets, Net
- This category varies in the lower single-digit percentages, initially declining before rising steadily from mid-2020 onward, reaching close to 5%. The trend suggests increased recognition of deferred tax assets or growth in other noncurrent assets.
- Noncurrent Assets
- Noncurrent assets consistently represent the majority of total assets, fluctuating between approximately 66.9% and 81.8%. The highest proportions correspond with periods of lower current assets, indicating a stable asset structure dominated by long-term holdings.
- Total Assets
- Total assets consistently sum to 100% by definition, providing the benchmark for relative proportions of all components analyzed.
