Net Income (Loss): The net income displays significant volatility. There are notable negative spikes, such as the loss of $3,346 million in June 2020 and a large loss of $4,170 million in March 2024. Positive peaks include $2,586 million in September 2021 and $3,052 million in September 2025, indicating irregular profitability over the quarters.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses: Depreciation expense remains relatively stable, fluctuating modestly around the $70-$90 million range. Amortization expense shows a gradual upward trend, rising from approximately $280 million in early 2020 to near $600 million in the last reported quarters, reflecting increased intangible asset amortization.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense: This expense exhibits moderate growth over the period, increasing from about $140 million to over $220 million, suggesting a rising cost of equity incentives.
Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes reveal substantial fluctuations with both positive and negative values, including significant negative peaks such as -$723 million in March 2024. This points to considerable variability in deferred tax assets and liabilities, likely influenced by tax strategy and timing differences.
Net Gain (Loss) from Equity Securities: This item is highly variable, swinging between gains and losses. Some quarters report large gains (e.g., $964 million in September 2020), while others have losses (e.g., -$189 million in December 2022), showing exposure to equity market volatility.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses: There are notable spikes in expenditures, prominently the $4,524 million in June 2020 and $4,131 million in March 2024, indicative of substantial investment in in-process acquisitions at irregular intervals.
In-Process Research and Development Impairments: Impairments appear intermittently, with large amounts of $2,700 million in December 2020 and $2,430 million in June 2024, reflecting significant write-offs or reductions in acquired research asset values.
Operating Assets and Liabilities: Changes in operating assets and liabilities demonstrate wide variability with periods of both large negative and positive swings, such as a $1,814 million positive change in December 2021 and a negative -$2,014 million in September 2025, indicating fluctuating working capital management.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Operating cash flow remains positive throughout, with some fluctuations. It peaked at $4,309 million in September 2024 but was as low as $827 million in June 2025. The cash generation ability appears strong despite net income volatility.
Investing Activities: Investing cash flows are predominantly negative each quarter, with major negative figures such as -$8,977 million in December 2020, reflecting significant acquisitions and investments. Purchases of marketable debt securities and acquisitions contribute primarily to this outflow.
Financing Activities: Financing cash flows are inconsistent, with both inflows and outflows. There are large repayments of debt and stock repurchases, such as a $3,527 million outflow in September 2021. Proceeds from debt issuance appear sporadically, e.g., $7,189 million in September 2020. Dividend payments consistently reduce cash.
Cash and Equivalents Movement: Cash and cash equivalents fluctuate considerably, with significant decreases in several quarters (e.g., -$3,305 million in June 2020) followed by strong increases in others (e.g., $6,140 million in September 2020), reflecting the combined effects of operating, investing, and financing activities along with exchange rate impacts.
