Total assets

Everything the company owns at the balance sheet date, as one figure.

Total assets is the sum of the asset side: fixed assets (buildings, equipment, intangibles, financial assets) and current assets (inventories, debtors, cash at bank), plus prepayments.

It always equals total capital, reserves and liabilities — that is what makes a balance sheet balance. The two columns answer the same question from opposite ends: what the company holds, and whose money paid for it.

In Luxembourg this is the most useful measure of a company's size, and by far the most complete: it appears in every filed period, where net turnover appears in only 7.6% of them.
