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
- The net income shows significant fluctuations over the periods, with overall strong growth up to early 2021, peaking in May 2021, followed by a sharp decline in October 2021. From 2022 onwards, net income demonstrates volatility with intermittent increases and decreases, reflecting varying operational performance or external factors affecting profitability.
- Depreciation
- Depreciation expenses trend upward gradually over the analyzed quarters, indicating ongoing capital expenditures and asset usage. The consistent increase suggests steady investment in fixed assets and corresponding wear and tear.
- Amortization of Intangibles
- This expense remains relatively steady with a sharp spike in October 2021, implying a significant acquisition or revaluation event at that point. Post-spike, amortization costs decrease progressively but stabilize at a still elevated level compared to early periods.
- Stock-Based Compensation Expense
- Stock-based compensation exhibits a marked increase in the middle period (notably October 2021), peaking sharply in that quarter before moderating but remaining above early-year levels. This may reflect management incentives or equity grant activities.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred income taxes fluctuate considerably, showing predominantly negative values with occasional positive spikes, indicating varying tax deferrals likely due to timing differences in revenue recognition, expenses, or changes in tax law impacts.
- Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities
- These show high volatility, with negative values interspersed with positive reversals. The large negative shifts in several quarters highlight fluctuations in working capital management, such as inventory levels, receivables, or payables.
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
- Operating cash flow consistently increases over the periods with some fluctuations. Peaks align with strong net income quarters, demonstrating effective cash conversion and solid operational performance despite earnings volatility.
- Additions to Property, Plant, and Equipment
- Capital expenditures are generally increasing, with notable peaks in late 2021 and early 2022 quarters, indicating intensified investment in operational capacity or modernization. Despite fluctuations, the overall trend suggests growing fixed asset bases.
- Net Cash Used for Investing Activities
- The cash flow from investing activities fluctuates between negative and highly positive due to acquisitions and investments. The sharp positive spike in late 2021 is associated with a significant acquisition, followed by large capital expenditure outflows, reflecting a growth strategy through acquisitions and asset purchases.
- Debt Activity
- There is considerable variability in debt issuance, repayments, and early terminations. Notable large proceeds occur in late 2021 and 2024, while significant repayments and early terminations align with those periods as well, implying active debt management and refinancing strategies.
- Stock Repurchases and Dividend Payments
- Share repurchases are substantial, particularly peaking mid-2021 with a very large repurchase outlay, and continue at a lower but significant rate thereafter. Dividend payments consistently represent a stable cash outflow, gradually increasing over time, indicating a commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
- Net Cash Used for Financing Activities
- Financing cash flows reflect high variability with large negative spikes corresponding to substantial stock buybacks, debt repayments, and dividend payments. Positive financing cash flows occur sporadically, linked to new debt issuance and other financing inflows, suggesting a dynamic approach to managing capital structure and shareholder returns.
- Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Cash balances show alternating periods of increases and decreases, mirroring the interplay of operating cash flows, investing activities, and financing actions. Despite some quarters of decreases, the overall pattern indicates the company’s ability to maintain liquidity through active cash management.
