The analysis of the quarterly financial data reveals a dynamic and fluctuating financial performance and position over the specified periods.

Profitability
Net income (loss) including redeemable non-controlling interests shows considerable volatility. The company experienced consistent losses from 2021 through the majority of 2023, with notable deepening losses by the end of 2022, reaching a low of -642 million USD in December 2022. Beginning in late 2024 and continuing into 2025, the company returned to profitability with positive net incomes, reaching 192 million USD by March 2025.
Non-Cash Expenses
Depreciation and amortization steadily increased from 29 million USD in March 2021 to a peak of 152 million USD in March 2025. Stock-based compensation similarly increased substantially, peaking in the middle quarters of 2023, followed by a gradual decline but remaining high through 2025. These figures indicate significant non-cash charges impacting income.
Operating Leases and Impairments
Reduction of operating lease right-of-use assets and accretion of operating lease liabilities increased gradually, consistent with increasing lease obligations or changes in accounting estimates. Office lease impairment expenses appeared sporadically with a notable expense of 83 million USD in mid-2024, possibly reflecting asset impairments in real estate holdings.
Operating Assets and Liabilities
The trends in working capital components show variability: accounts receivable and prepaid expenses experienced oscillations with significant negative values in some quarters, particularly in late 2022 and early 2023, which might indicate collection challenges or timing differences in revenue recognition. Accounts payable and accrued expenses fluctuated markedly, with accrued expenses showing large spikes in late 2021 and 2022, possibly due to accrued bonuses or operating costs. Changes in operating assets and liabilities overall were positive in most periods, supporting operating cash flow.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Despite net losses for many quarters, net cash provided by operating activities remained positive in most periods, rising sharply from weak showing in early 2022 to a high of 635 million USD in March 2025. Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash, including depreciation, stock-based compensation, and changes in working capital, strongly contributed to positive cash flows from operations.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows were generally negative, driven primarily by purchases of marketable securities and capital expenditures including property, equipment, and software development. There was some intermittent maturity and sale of marketable securities generating inflows, but overall net investing cash flows remained an outflow, indicating ongoing investment in long-term assets and securities.
Financing Activities
Financing activities showed periods of cash outflow mainly due to significant repurchases of common stock, particularly in 2022 and 2023, totaling hundreds of millions in repurchases. Proceeds from exercise of stock options provided minor inflows. Repayment of convertible notes occurred early in the period studied, impacting cash negatively. Overall financing cash flows were negative or modestly positive depending on repurchase activity.
Liquidity and Cash Position
Net increase (decrease) in cash fluctuated widely, with major cash declines early on followed by recovery and growth in the latter periods, aligning with improved operating cash flow and controlled investing and financing outflows. The company’s liquidity improved notably by the end of the analyzed period.

In summary, the financial data depicts a company that faced significant losses and variability in working capital in initial years but managed to generate strong operational cash flows, manage investments strategically, and return to profitability by early 2025. The repurchase of common stock and investment in assets highlight a focus on shareholder returns and growth, while non-cash expenses and impairments reflect ongoing investments and adjustments. The overall trend suggests improving financial health and operational efficiency towards the end of the period analyzed.
