- Net Income
- Net income demonstrates significant volatility over the periods. The company experienced strong profit figures in early 2020 and 2021, with peaks surpassing 4 billion USD in several quarters such as Dec 2024. There is a notable loss in Sep 2022 (-4665 million USD), but this was followed by rapid recovery. Overall, net income fluctuates but, especially toward the latest quarters, it has shown strong rebound and growth.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- This expense remains relatively stable over time, ranging between approximately 3200 million USD to above 4100 million USD in the latest quarters. There is a gradual upward trend indicating increasing capital asset base or amortization schedules stretching into recent periods.
- Goodwill and Long-Lived Asset Impairments
- There is a single large impairment of 8583 million USD recorded in late 2022, showing a material write-down of intangible or long-lived assets during that quarter.
- Share-Based Compensation
- This cost fluctuates moderately around 300 to 380 million USD per quarter with no clear upward or downward trend, reflecting relatively stable equity compensation expense over time.
- Noncash Interest Expense, Net
- Values are generally below 200 million USD each quarter, with some variability but no clear trend upward or downward. This suggests relatively consistent non-cash interest-related costs.
- Net (Gain) Loss on Investment Activity and Other
- Highly volatile, ranging from large gains to significant losses including an extreme positive spike in Mar 2025 (-9620 million USD loss). This line fluctuates unpredictably, reflecting potentially realized/unrealized gains or losses on investment portfolio changes or other unusual items.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred taxes exhibit considerable quarter-to-quarter variability with both positive and negative values, suggesting ongoing adjustments in tax position related to timing differences.
- Operating Assets and Liabilities Changes
- These net changes oscillate significantly, ranging between large positive and negative alterations. This volatility may indicate fluctuations in working capital components affecting cash flows.
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
- Operating cash flows display strong and consistent positive amounts, mostly between 5.8 and 8.3 billion USD, indicating robust cash generation capability despite fluctuations in net income. Notably, there is a dip around late 2024 but flows recover thereafter.
- Capital Expenditures
- Capital spending is substantial and generally increasing over time, with peaks close to 4 billion USD in several quarters. This denotes ongoing investment in fixed assets, possibly reflecting expansion or maintenance of operations.
- Cash Paid for Intangible Assets
- This outflow is consistently significant, around 600 to 900 million USD each quarter, showing continued investment in intangible assets like software, licenses, or content rights.
- Acquisitions and Purchase of Spectrum
- Minimal acquisition activity except for one significant cash outflow for spectrum purchase in late 2020. A notable acquisition cash outflow occurred in the latest quarter ending Jun 2025 (-1279 million USD).
- Proceeds from Sales of Businesses and Investments
- This inflow is irregular but includes some large positive spikes, especially in early to mid-2022 and early 2025, indicating occasional divestitures or monetization of assets.
- Purchases of Investments
- Outflows for investments vary substantially, peaking in late 2021 and mid-2022 periods, reflecting active management or acquisitions in investment portfolios.
- Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
- Generally negative across periods, often in excess of 3 billion USD per quarter, illustrating a net use of cash for investing activities. An exception occurs in Dec 2023 with a positive inflow of 4557 million USD, likely due to significant asset sales or returns from investments.
- Financing Activities
-
- Borrowings and Debt
- Borrowings fluctuate with large inflows in some quarters, notably early 2020, and significant repayments or repurchases in others, indicating active debt management. Major debt repayments occur in 2021 and 2023 along with large repayments of collateralized obligations in mid-2023.
- Share Repurchases
- Consistent and substantial use of cash for repurchasing stock is observable, especially from 2021 through 2024, often exceeding 2 billion USD per quarter, indicating an active return of capital to shareholders.
- Dividends Paid
- Dividend payments are stable, around 1100 to 1230 million USD per quarter, showing consistent shareholder distributions.
- Net Cash from Financing
- Financing cash flows are predominantly negative, often reflecting repayment of debt and share repurchases exceeding new borrowings, resulting in net cash outflows in most periods. The largest net outflows appear in 2021 and 2023 quarters.
- Foreign Currency Impact
- The impact of foreign currency on cash balances is relatively minor and oscillates between modest positive and negative values, implying limited exchange rate effects on overall cash position.
- Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Cash and equivalents experience sharp increases early in 2020 and 2021 but fluctuate considerably afterward, with declines in some quarters such as late 2021 and 2022. Recent quarters show mixed results with both increases and decreases, suggesting volatility in liquidity management.
