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.

A significant transition in profitability and cash generation is evident over the analyzed period. The entity moved from a period of substantial quarterly net losses, peaking at 642 million dollars in December 2022, to consistent positive net income starting in the third quarter of 2024. This trajectory culminated in a peak quarterly net income of 465 million dollars by September 2026, indicating a successful shift toward operational profitability.
- Operating Cash Flow Dynamics
- Net cash provided by operating activities exhibited a strong upward trend, growing from 166 million dollars in March 2021 to 994 million dollars by September 2026. While net income was negative in the early years, operating cash flow remained largely positive, driven by substantial non-cash adjustments. The reconciliation of net income to operating cash flow was heavily supported by stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization.
- Non-Cash Expense Trends
- Stock-based compensation remained a primary driver of cash flow adjustments, generally increasing from approximately 97 million dollars in early 2021 to a range between 231 million and 349 million dollars in later periods. Similarly, depreciation and amortization showed a steady climb, rising from 29 million dollars in March 2021 to 312 million dollars by September 2026, reflecting an expanding asset base.
- Investing Activities and Capital Allocation
- Investment patterns shifted from the management of marketable securities toward significant strategic acquisitions. While the entity maintained consistent spending on property, equipment, and capitalized software—with software development costs increasing from 22 million dollars to 117 million dollars—the most notable activity was the surge in acquisitions. A substantial cash outflow of 2.953 billion dollars for acquisitions was recorded in March 2026, representing a major allocation of capital toward inorganic growth.
- Financing and Liquidity Management
- Financing activities were characterized by a major liquidity event in June 2025, where the issuance of convertible notes provided 2.722 billion dollars in proceeds. This influx of capital appears to have funded subsequent large-scale acquisitions and a ramp-up in shareholder returns. Repurchases of common stock intensified significantly toward the end of the period, with a peak quarterly spend of 887 million dollars in March 2026.
- Working Capital and Other Assets
- Fluctuations in operating assets and liabilities were volatile throughout the period. Changes in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses often offset gains in accrued expenses. The net effect of these changes generally provided a positive contribution to operating cash flow, although more significant outflows were observed in the latter half of 2025 and early 2026.
Overall, the financial profile shifted from a high-growth, loss-making phase to a cash-generative state. The ability to generate nearly 1 billion dollars in quarterly operating cash flow by 2026 provided the necessary flexibility to pursue aggressive acquisitions and return capital to shareholders while maintaining a trajectory of increasing net profitability.
