Net Income (Loss)
The net income demonstrated significant volatility across the reported quarters. Notably, there was a peak in December 2020 at 1,781 million USD, followed by a decline and variable recovery phases. The trend after 2022 shows fluctuating profits with recurrent positive net income except for a negative value of -139 million USD in April 2023. The latest reported quarters in 2025 indicate steady profitability, with values ranging between 482 million USD and 872 million USD.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses exhibited an increasing trend overall, with a considerable spike in the early quarters of 2022, reaching a high of 1,220 million USD. Subsequent periods show a descending pattern but remain elevated compared to earlier years, suggesting ongoing substantial investments in fixed assets and intangible amortization.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expenses increased steadily over the periods, rising from 59 million USD in March 2020 to levels consistently above 300 million USD from late 2022 onwards. This indicates an increased use of equity-based incentives as part of employee compensation.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes displayed considerable fluctuation, with significant negative values observed intermittently, particularly from the end of 2021 through early 2025. Some negative peaks were seen at -607 million USD in the third quarter of 2024. This points to complex tax timing differences or adjustments impacting the financial results.
Operating Lease Amortization and Inventory Fair Value Adjustment
Amortization of operating lease right-of-use assets steadily increased from 10 million USD in early 2020 to approximately 30 million USD by late 2024, reflecting growing lease obligations. Meanwhile, amortization of inventory fair value adjustment was recorded only in the 2021-2022 period, indicating one-time adjustments likely related to acquisitions.
Other Income and Expense Items
Items such as loss on debt redemption and inventory loss were sporadically reported, with minor impact on the overall financials. Other miscellaneous items showed variability but did not demonstrate a consistent trend.
Working Capital Components
The net changes in accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable reflected a volatile pattern. Accounts receivable fluctuated between negative and positive values, pointing to irregular collection patterns. Inventories generally declined through mid-2022 but had intermittent increases afterward. Accounts payable showed significant swings, including both positive and negative movements, indicating changing payment cycles and supplier financing strategies.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating cash flows were generally positive across most quarters, reaching peaks over 1,000 million USD several times post-2020. The data suggest stable cash generation from core operations despite net income variability. The reconciliation adjustments aligned accordingly with changes in working capital and non-cash expenses.
Investing Activities
Cash flow from investing activities was highly inconsistent, with substantial cash inflows appearing in some quarters attributable to the Xilinx acquisition (notably 3,158 million USD in one quarter). Purchases of property and equipment showed a generally steady outflow, indicating ongoing capital investment. The company engaged in significant short-term investments with large purchases and maturities recorded, demonstrating active portfolio management. Acquisitions and strategic investment cash flows reflect occasional significant outlays and cash received.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows fluctuated considerably, with periodic debt issuances and repayments. There were substantial repurchases of common stock noted after mid-2020, peaking in late 2021 and 2022, suggesting an emphasis on returning capital to shareholders. Proceeds from sales of common stock through employee equity plans increased over time, supporting stock-based compensation trends. The financing activities showed a mix of inflows and outflows, fluctuating between substantial cash usage and cash provided in different quarters.
Overall Cash Position
The net change in cash fluctuated, with notable positive spikes likely linked to acquisition-related transactions and operating cash inflows. There were periods of cash decreases, particularly in late 2022 and 2024, reflecting investment activities and stock repurchases. Despite variability, the overall cash flow pattern suggests an actively managed liquidity position.
