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.

The financial data reveals a significant transition from a period of sustained net losses to consistent profitability, accompanied by a substantial increase in cash generation from operating activities.
- Operating Performance and Profitability
- A clear pivot in profitability occurred in the third quarter of 2024, marking the end of a multi-year trend of net losses. Following this shift, net income remained positive through June 30, 2026, with quarterly results ranging from $139 million to $284 million. This improvement in bottom-line performance is mirrored in the net cash provided by operating activities, which exhibited a strong upward trajectory, growing from early figures around $100 million to a peak of $944 million by the second quarter of 2026.
- Non-cash adjustments to reconcile net income remained significant throughout the period. Stock-based compensation consistently represented a major add-back, generally increasing from under $100 million in early 2021 to peaks exceeding $300 million in 2026. Similarly, depreciation and amortization showed a steady climb, rising from $29 million in March 2021 to $295 million by June 2026, reflecting an expanding asset base.
- Investing Activities and Capital Expenditure
- Investment patterns indicate a strategic shift toward aggressive acquisition and software development. Capitalized software and website development costs rose steadily from $22 million per quarter in early 2021 to $141 million by June 2026. Purchases of property and equipment also trended upward, doubling from approximately $32 million to $61 million over the observed period.
- A massive spike in investing outflows was observed in September 2025, where net cash used in investing activities reached $3.1 billion. This was primarily driven by a single large acquisition totaling $2.95 billion. Outside of this event, the company maintained a consistent pattern of purchasing and maturing short-term investments to manage liquidity.
- Financing and Capital Structure
- Financing activities were characterized by significant volatility and strategic capital raises. A major liquidity event occurred in June 2025 with the issuance of convertible notes totaling $2.72 billion, which provided a substantial cash cushion. This was partially offset by the purchase of convertible note hedges totaling $680 million in the same period.
- The company initiated a program of common stock repurchases, which became more pronounced in 2026, peaking at $887 million in the second quarter. Earlier repurchase activity was intermittent, with notable outflows in 2022 and 2023.
- Liquidity and Cash Position
- The net change in cash and cash equivalents fluctuated significantly due to the timing of large investment and financing events. Despite early periods of cash depletion, the company achieved a strong positive net increase in cash of $1.98 billion in June 2025, coinciding with the convertible notes issuance. This liquidity supported the subsequent large-scale acquisitions and share buybacks observed in late 2025 and 2026.
