Cash Flow Statement
Quarterly Data
The cash flow statement provides information about a company cash receipts and cash payments during an accounting period, showing how these cash flows link the ending cash balance to the beginning balance shown on the company balance sheet.
The cash flow statement consists of three parts: cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities, and cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities.

- Net Income (Loss) Trend
- The net income exhibits considerable volatility across the reported quarters. Starting from a significant loss of $1,172 million in March 2021, it quickly recovers to consistently positive values throughout 2021 and into 2022, even reaching a peak of $4,374 million in September 2023. However, there are intermittent quarters with losses, such as in December 2023 (-$349 million), reflecting possible one-off impacts or operational fluctuations. Early 2024 again shows robust income, followed by smaller gains in early 2025.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- This expense gradually declines from 38 million in Q1 2021 to a low around 8–9 million in 2022, before a slight rebound occurs in late 2023 and early 2024. The reduction over time may indicate asset base changes or amortization schedules maturing.
- Stock-based Compensation Expense
- Stock-based compensation remains a substantial and consistently increasing expense, starting at $229 million in Q1 2021 and rising steadily to reach highs around $360 million by late 2024 and early 2025. This steady increase suggests expanding employee incentives or compensation alignment strategies.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Data on deferred income taxes is sporadic, with some negative values observed in late 2021 and again in late 2023 followed by positive values into 2024. This variability indicates fluctuating temporary differences or tax planning activities affecting deferred tax balances.
- Other Operating Items
- Impairment of long-lived assets and loss from debt extinguishment occur only in early periods of 2021 and 2022, suggesting isolated events. The change in fair value of warrant liability appears only in Q1 2021, implying a non-recurring financial instrument impact. Other, net fluctuations show varied gains and losses suggesting operational incidental items without a clear trend.
- Working Capital and Operating Assets/Liabilities Changes
- Operating assets and liabilities demonstrate significant fluctuations, with changes ranging from positive to negative $1,346 million and beyond. Unearned fees and accrued expenses similarly show volatility, indicating changing business cycles or shifts in customer prepayments and accrued costs that impact operational cash flows.
- Operating Cash Flows
- Net cash provided by operating activities generally trends upwards from $494 million in Q1 2021 to peaks near $1,900 million in early 2024. This reflects improving cash generation capacity despite net income variability and fluctuating working capital components.
- Investing Activities
- Purchases and sales of short-term investments fluctuate but generally show net outflows consistent with investment activity, with purchases notably exceeding sales in several quarters yielding negative investing cash flows. Other investing activities are relatively minor and steady.
- Financing Activities
- Financing cash flow exhibits strong swings related to stock repurchases, debt transactions, and equity awards. Stock repurchases ramp up significantly starting in mid-2022, with consistent outflows exceeding $500 million in many quarters. There are occasional large repayments of long-term debt and issuance of convertible notes in early periods, subsiding later. Cash proceeds from equity exercises demonstrate modest but steady inflows.
- Cash Position and Exchange Effects
- The net change in cash and equivalents is volatile, with strong positive inflows in certain quarters (notably mid-2021, Q1 2022, early 2023, and early 2024) offset by significant decreases in others. The effect of exchange rates on cash is variable, occasionally dampening or enhancing cash balances, reflecting currency exposure impacts on the cash position.
