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.

Operating performance is characterized by strong and consistent cash generation, despite significant volatility in quarterly net income. While net income fluctuated—most notably with a deficit in September 2022 and an exceptional peak in June 2025—net cash provided by operating activities remained resilient, generally maintaining a range between 6 billion and 8.8 billion US dollars per quarter.
- Operating Cash Flow Dynamics
- A consistent trend of high depreciation and amortization expenses is observed, rising from approximately 3.3 billion US dollars in early 2021 to over 4 billion US dollars by mid-2025. This suggests a heavy asset base and ongoing infrastructure investment. The reconciliation of net income to operating cash is frequently bolstered by these non-cash charges, ensuring that liquidity remains stable even during quarters of reported net losses.
- Capital Investment and Strategic Outlays
- Investment activities are dominated by sustained capital expenditures, which typically range between 2 billion and 4 billion US dollars per quarter. Spending on intangible assets remains a steady requirement, averaging between 600 million and 900 million US dollars. A notable anomaly occurred in December 2023, where net cash used in investing activities turned positive due to an 8.6 billion US dollar advance on the sale of an investment. Additionally, expenditures for the Universal Beijing Resort showed a sharp decline over time, transitioning from several hundred million dollars in 2021 to negligible amounts by 2024.
- Financing and Shareholder Returns
- The company maintains a rigorous program of returning capital to shareholders. Dividend payments are remarkably stable, consistently hovering around 1.2 billion US dollars per quarter. Share repurchases are more variable but substantial, frequently exceeding 2 billion US dollars per quarter, though a slight moderation in the pace of buybacks is observed in the 2024-2025 period. Debt management is active, with periodic large-scale borrowings offset by significant repayments, such as the 5.175 billion US dollar repayment of collateralized obligations in December 2023.
The overall cash flow profile indicates a business model capable of funding massive capital reinvestment and aggressive shareholder distributions through its internal operating cash flow. The balance between operating inflows and the combined outflows of investing and financing activities results in fluctuating quarterly cash positions, though the underlying operational engine remains robust.
