Net income (loss): The net income exhibits significant volatility throughout the periods, starting with a large loss in early 2020, followed by recovery and substantial gains by late 2022 and into 2023. Positive spikes appear notably in Q3 2022, Q4 2022, and continue with generally elevated net income through 2025, although some quarters show declines, indicating inconsistent profitability over time.
Depreciation and amortization: This expense remains relatively stable, with a gradual upward trend from around 100 million to approximately 150 million by 2024–2025. The steady increase suggests expanding asset base or capital expenditures.
Provision for expected credit losses and chargebacks: Fluctuations are apparent, with some negative values early on and an increasing trend after 2021, especially from 2022 onward. This implies rising credit risk or more conservative provisioning in recent periods.
Deferred income taxes: Values show considerable variability, including both positive and negative amounts, with no clear long-term trend. This reflects shifting tax positions and timing differences that impact income tax accounts unevenly over the quarters.
Net gains/losses on equity securities: This item demonstrates extreme volatility, with large positive and negative swings often exceeding hundreds of millions, indicating high sensitivity to equity market fluctuations or changes in investment valuations.
Stock-based compensation expense: There is a consistent increasing pattern from around 11 million in early 2020 to above 160 million by late 2023 and stabilizing afterwards, indicating growing use of equity incentives or increasing employee-related costs.
Operating lease amortization: The amounts gradually decline over the time frame, decreasing from mid-40 millions to low 30 millions, suggesting lease liabilities reduction or changes in lease agreements.
Unrealized foreign currency transaction (gains) losses: This metric fluctuates widely, with alternating gains and losses of significant magnitude, particularly volatile from 2023 onward, reflecting exposure and sensitivity to fluctuations in Euro-denominated debt and currency exchange rates.
Amortization of debt discount on convertible senior notes & Change in fair value of conversion option: These expenses appear only in later periods (2024-2025), with notable amounts, indicating new issuance or revaluation of convertible debt components impacting financial expenses.
Impairment of goodwill: Recorded in earlier periods (2020) with sizable charges, followed by absence in later quarters, indicating a one-time write-down effect impacting profitability initially.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt: Reported once in mid-2021, implying a significant one-time financial expense due to repurchasing debt early in that quarter.
Gain on sale and leaseback transaction: A single recorded gain in mid-2022 suggesting occasional non-recurring income from asset financing activities.
Other: Fluctuating small amounts are recorded, with no distinct pattern.
Working capital components (Accounts receivable, Prepaid expenses, Deferred merchant bookings and other liabilities): Accounts receivable and prepaid expenses show wide fluctuations and frequent reversals, indicating changing operating cycles or timing of cash collections and payments. Deferred merchant bookings and other current liabilities demonstrate substantial variability, including large positive and negative shifts, reflecting changes in customer prepayments and liabilities which could impact cash flow and operating performance.
Changes in assets and liabilities: This item experiences significant swings, from large positive values to negative shifts, indicating irregularities in working capital changes affecting operating cash flows.
Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities: Adjustment amounts fluctuate widely, with large positive and negative numbers, implying material non-cash expenses and other reconciling items impacting cash flows variably over the quarters.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities: Operating cash flows are generally positive from mid-2020 forward, excluding a few quarters with negative cash flow. There is a clear recovery from the losses at the start of the period with strong cash generation in 2022 and 2023, supporting operational strength despite net income volatility.
Investing activities: Net cash used in investing fluctuates widely, with occasional large inflows associated with proceeds from maturity of investments and sale and leaseback transactions. Capital expenditures are steady but show some increase in later years. There are isolated acquisition costs in late 2021, indicating expansion activities.
Financing activities: Financing cash flows also show volatility, with large proceeds from long-term debt issuances sporadically, and significant payments for debt maturities at various intervals. Repurchases of common stock represent a major and consistent outflow, increasing over time, signifying active share buyback programs. Dividends paid resume in 2023 with moderate steady payments. Other financing activities are minor and irregular.
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and equivalents: Foreign exchange impacts on cash balances are notably volatile, with large positive and negative effects, particularly pronounced in later periods, reflecting currency exposure and exchange rate movements affecting cash holdings.
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents: Cash balances fluctuate considerably, with strong increases in certain quarters (notably mid-2020 and late 2022) and significant decreases in others, consistent with the variability in operational, investing, and financing cash flows combined with currency effects.
