- Net earnings (loss)
- Net earnings exhibit significant volatility across the periods analyzed, with a general trend of large losses emerging from late 2018 through 2020. Notable losses occurred in March 2019 (-253,793) and August 2022 (-366,159). There are intermittent positive earnings, such as in May 2016 (122,619) and August 2020 (217,900), but these are often followed by sharp declines, indicating inconsistency in profitability.
- Depreciation and amortization
- Depreciation and amortization expenses remained relatively stable over time, fluctuating between approximately 68,000 and 93,000 thousand US dollars. This suggests steady non-cash charges related to asset utilization.
- Impairments
- Impairments began appearing prominently after 2018, with exceedingly high charges in December 2018 (509,905) and March 2019 (401,267), which then decreased but continued sporadically. The high impairment values may reflect significant asset write-downs, indicating operational or market challenges affecting asset values during those periods.
- Stock-based compensation
- This expense generally declined over time, starting around 20,748 thousand US dollars in May 2016, dwindling to figures near 7,000-9,000 in recent quarters. This decline suggests reduced reliance on stock-based incentives or changes in compensation structures.
- Deferred income taxes
- Deferred income taxes showed large swings, with significant positive and negative figures, from a low of around -103,875 in March 2019 to a high of 192,095 in February 2021. This volatility may indicate fluctuating tax positions related to timing differences and loss carryforwards.
- (Gain) loss on sale of businesses
- Losses and gains on sales of businesses appear irregular and occasional, with notable gains and losses around 2020-2021, such as a large gain in November 2020 (-189,528) and subsequent losses, reflecting restructuring or asset divestiture activities.
- Merchandise inventories
- Reported merchandise inventories exhibit extreme variability with both large positive and negative values, indicating substantial fluctuations in stock levels, potentially driven by changes in sales volumes or inventory management strategies.
- Other current assets and Other assets
- Other current assets and other assets display high volatility, with large positive and negative movements likely reflecting complex changes in receivables, prepaid expenses, or non-typical assets.
- Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities
- Liabilities such as accounts payable and accrued expenses underwent significant fluctuations, including both sizable increases and decreases. These patterns may reflect changes in payment cycles, vendor terms, or operational cash management.
- Adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash provided by operating activities
- These adjustments were substantial and variable, with some quarters exceeding 400,000 thousand US dollars, indicating large non-cash expenses and working capital changes impacting operating cash flows.
- Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
- Operating cash flow showed conspicuous variability, with several quarters displaying strong positive cash flows exceeding 300,000 thousand US dollars but also notable negative values, such as a large negative in May 2020 (-394,624) possibly related to operational difficulties or restructuring costs.
- Capital expenditures
- Capital expenditures were consistently negative, ranging roughly between -42,000 and -121,000 thousand US dollars per quarter. The expenses remain relatively stable, showing ongoing investments in property, plant, or equipment despite fluctuating operational performance.
- Purchases and redemption of investment securities
- Purchases and redemptions of held-to-maturity securities reveal episodic large transactions. For instance, purchases peaked at around -487,999 thousand US dollars in March 2019, while subsequent redemptions sometimes exceeded 300,000 thousand US dollars, suggesting active portfolio management or liquidity adjustments.
- Borrowing and repayments of long-term debt
- There are sporadic instances of significant debt borrowings, such as 236,400 thousand US dollars in May 2020 and 350,000 thousand in August 2021. Conversely, repayments occur irregularly and are generally lower in magnitude. This reflects debt refinancing or capital structure management activities.
- Repurchase of common stock and dividend payments
- Common stock repurchases occurred heavily before mid-2020 but declined substantially thereafter, with notable large buybacks in 2016-2019. Dividend payments remained relatively consistent but showed a dramatic reduction in the periods after 2019, possibly indicating dividend cuts in response to financial challenges.
- Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
- Financing cash flows demonstrated volatility with a mixture of negative and positive figures, including large outflows early on and some significant inflows in 2020 and 2022, corresponding to debt issuances and changes in capital structure or equity transactions.
- Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
- Cash balances showed large fluctuations, including sharp increases and decreases, for example, a large increase in June 2018 (332,506) and a substantial decrease in November 2021 (-484,389), reflecting irregular cash management and the impact of financing and operating activities.
