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 exhibited a generally upward trend over the periods analyzed, rising from approximately $124 million in March 2020 to a peak exceeding $340 million by March 2025. However, this increase was volatile, with notable fluctuations including declines in certain quarters such as June 2025 with a substantial decrease to about $160 million, indicating variability in profitability.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- Depreciation and amortization expenses remained relatively stable in the earlier quarters, around the $33,000 to $39,000 range, but showed a marked upward movement from mid-2023 onwards, reaching above $53,000 by June 2025. This suggests increased capital asset base or accelerated amortization during the later periods.
- Stock-Based Compensation
- Stock-based compensation steadily increased throughout the timeline, starting near $46,000 in early 2020 and climbing to beyond $118,000 by June 2025. This consistent rise could reflect an expansion in employee incentive plans or rising equity compensation costs.
- Gains and Losses on Divestitures and Investments
- This category showed significant volatility with occasional large negative values, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, where losses surpassed $55 million. Positive spikes were also observed intermittently. This high variability indicates active investment and divestiture activities with fluctuating outcomes.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred income taxes have largely been negative across the periods, with some significant negative swings such as late 2022 and early 2024, notably a $123 million negative impact in late 2024. This pattern may reflect timing differences in recognition of tax expenses or benefits.
- Provisions for Losses on Receivables
- Provisions showed small fluctuations, occasionally negative or positive but generally staying under $2 million in absolute value. The lack of significant spikes suggests relatively consistent credit loss experience over time.
- Operating Assets and Liabilities
- Changes in operating assets and liabilities demonstrated considerable volatility. Large positive changes were recorded in mid-2020 and mid-2021, exceeding $130 million, while large negative changes occurred in late 2020 and mid-2024, indicating swings in working capital management and timing of cash flows.
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
- Operating cash flows showed strong increases with peaks above $487 million in mid-2025. Although fluctuations existed, the overall pattern indicates strong operational cash generation capability, generally aligning with the profitability trends.
- Investing Activities
- Investing cash flows were consistently negative, reflecting ongoing investments in property, plant, equipment, and acquisitions. Notably, there were substantial outflows in late 2022 exceeding $600 million, likely representing significant acquisition activity or capital expenditures during that period. Purchases of property, plant, and equipment remained consistently high, commonly ranging between $15 million to over $44 million per quarter.
- Financing Activities
- Financing cash flows fluctuated markedly. Early in the period, net inflows were observed linked to issuance of stock and financing; however, later they swung to large net outflows, primarily due to significant stock repurchases consistently around $125 million to $350 million per quarter and repayment of debt facilities. Large proceeds from debt issuances occurred in mid-2024, exceeding $2 billion, followed by corresponding repayments, reflecting active capital structure management.
- Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash
- The effects of currency translation on cash balances showed alternating positive and negative values, sometimes exceeding $30 million in magnitude, indicating exposure to foreign currency fluctuations impacting reported cash balances.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The net change in cash and cash equivalents was positive overall but inconsistent, with increases in many quarters, particularly a notable increase of over $1.7 billion in September 2024, compounded by several quarters of decline, illustrating variable cash flow and liquidity dynamics influenced by operating, investing, and financing cash activities.
