Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-31).

Net cash provided by operating activities
The net cash provided by operating activities exhibited an overall increasing trend over the five-year period. It started at $63,875 thousand in 2018, with a slight increase to $65,673 thousand in 2019. There was a significant decline in 2020, dropping to $38,481 thousand, which could indicate operational challenges or external factors impacting cash flow. However, the cash flow sharply rebounded in the subsequent years, reaching $124,494 thousand in 2021 and further surging to $235,361 thousand in 2022, marking the highest recorded amount across the period.
Free cash flow to equity (FCFE)
The FCFE demonstrated more variability compared to operating cash flow. Starting at $52,178 thousand in 2018, it slightly decreased to $49,330 thousand in 2019. In 2020, FCFE experienced a notable negative value of -$34,294 thousand, indicating a net outflow to equity holders in that year, potentially due to higher investments or financing adjustments. The following years showed recovery with a positive FCFE of $74,259 thousand in 2021 and a substantial increase to $658,314 thousand in 2022. This dramatic rise in 2022 suggests a significant improvement in the company's ability to generate cash available for equity shareholders, possibly due to strengthened operations or reduced capital expenditures.
Overall insight
The data reveals that after a period of stress in 2020, both operating cash flow and FCFE demonstrated strong recovery and growth. The considerable increase in 2022 in both metrics underscores improved operational efficiency and financial strength. The negative FCFE in 2020 highlights the challenges faced that year, but the subsequent years' recovery indicates effective management response and enhanced cash generation capacity.

The data reveals several notable trends in the financial metrics analyzed over the five-year period ending December 31, 2022. The share price exhibited significant growth overall, increasing from $55.49 in 2018 to $200.31 in 2022, despite a dip observed in 2021.

The Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) per share showed variability with an initial slight decline from $0.89 in 2018 to $0.83 in 2019, followed by a negative value of -$0.54 in 2020, indicating a cash outflow to equity holders during that year. This was succeeded by a recovery to $1.05 in 2021 and a substantial increase to $9.04 in 2022, suggesting improved cash generation capacity in the most recent period.

The Price to FCFE (P/FCFE) ratio displayed corresponding fluctuations. Starting at 62.56 in 2018, it rose sharply to 93.37 in 2019, was not reported in 2020 (likely due to the negative FCFE), then escalated further to 128.13 in 2021, before markedly declining to 22.17 in 2022. This lower ratio in the final year suggests a more attractive valuation relative to FCFE per share due to the significant increase in FCFE.

Share Price Trend
Strong upward trajectory overall, with a peak in 2022 at $200.31, despite a decrease in 2021 compared to 2020.
FCFE per Share Trend
Fluctuating trend with a negative value in 2020, indicating cash flow challenges, followed by recovery and substantial growth by 2022.
P/FCFE Ratio Trend
High valuation ratios through 2018-2021 with a missing data point in 2020 due to negative FCFE, then a sharp decline in 2022 reflecting improved cash flow performance and valuation.
Insights
The sharp increase in FCFE per share in 2022, alongside the decreased P/FCFE ratio, implies enhanced operational efficiency or capital distribution, possibly making the company's shares more attractive from a cash flow perspective. The volatility observed in FCFE and P/FCFE ratios highlights variability in cash flow generation over this period.
