- Net Income
- Net income demonstrated a generally upward trend from 2020 through 2025, with the exception of a slight decline in 2024 compared to 2023. The figure rose significantly from $2.25 billion in 2020 to $5.36 billion in 2025, peaking in 2025 after a dip in 2024.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- Depreciation and amortization expenses showed a steady increase over the period, indicating ongoing capital investment and asset utilization. The expense amount increased from approximately $269 million in 2020 to $386 million in 2025.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- The balance of deferred income taxes was negative throughout all years, indicating deferred tax liabilities. The magnitude increased over time, reaching its highest negative balance in 2025 at approximately -$363 million, reflecting a growing deferred tax obligation.
- Equity-Based Compensation Expense
- This expense steadily increased each year from $189 million in 2020 to $343 million in 2025, suggesting a consistent rise in equity incentives or stock-based pay to employees.
- Other Net Items
- Other net items fluctuated without a clear trend, alternating between positive and negative values, indicating various miscellaneous impacts on the financials.
- Working Capital Components (Accounts Receivable, Inventories, Prepaid Expenses)
- Accounts receivable and inventories showed erratic changes. Both were strongly negative in earlier years, reaching more than -$1.3 billion for inventories in 2022 and -$1.2 billion for accounts receivable in the same year. However, in 2023, they reversed to positive values before fluctuating again in 2024 and 2025. Prepaid expenses similarly alternated between negative and positive values, reflecting variable operational cash flow effects on working capital.
- Trade Accounts Payable
- Trade accounts payable remained positive in most years except for sharply negative levels in 2023 (-$522 million), followed by recovery to positive figures thereafter. This volatility affected working capital management.
- Deferred Profit and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
- Deferred profit rose significantly through 2022 before dropping sharply negative in 2024, then rebounding to over $1.1 billion in 2025. Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased until 2021, then decreased into negative territory during 2023 and 2024, recovering by 2025.
- Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities
- The net changes in operating assets and liabilities showed negative cash flow impacts through 2022, turning positive in 2023 and improving further in 2024 and 2025. This shift likely contributed positively to cash flow from operations in later years.
- Adjustments to Reconcile Net Income to Net Cash from Operating Activities
- These adjustments were negative in the early years, reaching -$1.5 billion in 2022 but became positive in 2023 and stabilized around $800 million thereafter, indicating improving non-cash adjustments supporting operating cash flow.
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
- Operating cash flow generally trended upward from approximately $2.13 billion in 2020 to over $6.17 billion in 2025, despite a dip in 2022. The increase implies enhanced operational efficiency or profitability conversion into cash.
- Capital Expenditures and Intangible Assets
- Capital expenditures remained consistently negative reflecting ongoing investments, ranging from about -$203 million in 2020 to a substantial -$759 million in 2025, with variability suggesting fluctuating investment levels.
- Business Acquisitions
- A notable one-time business acquisition expense of nearly -$120 million occurred in 2023, indicating a strategic acquisition that year.
- Investments in Available-for-Sale Securities
- Purchases of available-for-sale securities were heavy in early years but ceased after 2022. Proceeds from maturities and sales declined over time, particularly after 2022, indicating a reduced focus on these investments.
- Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
- Cash flows from investing activities fluctuated, being positive in 2021 and 2022, but turning negative in 2023 through 2025 with the largest outflows in 2025 at approximately -$708 million, driven by capital expenditures and acquisitions.
- Financing Activities
- Financing cash flows were consistently negative, with large outflows reflecting debt repayments, treasury stock purchases, and dividend payments. Treasury stock purchases were significant each year, surpassing $2 billion in some years, indicating aggressive share repurchase programs. Dividends grew steadily from around -$657 million in 2020 to -$1.15 billion in 2025. Net proceeds from issuance of long-term debt and borrowings on revolving credit facilities were significant only in early years, ceasing after 2020.
- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Cash position fluctuated with several decreases and increases but trended upward overall, ending at $6.41 billion in 2025, up from $3.91 billion in 2020. The net change in cash showed high volatility but demonstrated strong positive inflows in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
- Overall Analysis
- The company demonstrated robust net income growth and strong operational cash generation over the period. Capital investment increased, reflecting growth initiatives. The negative cash flows in investing and financing activities indicate active investment and shareholder returns through repurchases and dividends. Changes in working capital components were volatile but improved operating cash flow in later years. The financial data suggest solid profitability with aggressive capital management balanced by consistent shareholder returns and strategic acquisitions.
