Long-term Activity Ratios (Summary)
Moderna Inc., long-term (investment) activity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-03-31).
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio shows a marked increase starting from the period ending on March 31, 2021, where it rises sharply from 0.67 to a peak of 16.77 by September 30, 2022. This upward trend indicates a significant improvement in the company's efficiency in utilizing fixed assets to generate sales. However, after this peak, there is a noticeable decline, with the ratio decreasing to 2.08 by September 30, 2024. This suggests a reduction in asset utilization efficiency or possibly an increase in fixed assets relative to sales in the more recent quarters.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover (Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset)
- This metric follows a similar trajectory to the net fixed asset turnover but at slightly lower levels throughout the periods reported. It rises sharply from 0.52 in March 31, 2021, to a peak of 15.35 by September 30, 2022, before declining to 1.57 by September 30, 2024. The inclusion of operating leases and right-of-use assets reduces the ratio, reflecting the capitalized lease assets' impact, but the overall pattern of rapid growth followed by a steady fall remains consistent.
- Total Asset Turnover
- Total asset turnover shows a gradual increase starting from a very low level of 0.03 in March 31, 2021, rising to 0.85 by September 30, 2022. This indicates improved efficiency in generating sales from total assets during this period. After peaking, the ratio declines steadily, reaching 0.31 by the most recent quarter in September 30, 2024. The pattern suggests that while there was significant asset utilization improvement, the effectiveness has diminished in the more recent periods.
- Equity Turnover
- Equity turnover demonstrates a strong increase from 0.08 in March 31, 2021, to a maximum of 1.28 by June 30, 2022. This reflects increasing sales generated per unit of shareholder equity, signaling effective use of equity capital during this phase. However, the ratio steadily declines afterward, dropping to 0.42 by September 30, 2024. The declining trend indicates reduced efficiency in leveraging equity for sales generation in the subsequent periods.

- Net Product Sales
- The net product sales were absent from reporting until the first quarter of 2021, when sales reached $200 million. Following this initial period, there was a substantial increase, peaking in the fourth quarter of 2021 at $4,810 million. The highest quarterly sale was observed in the first quarter of 2022 at $6,935 million. Subsequent quarters showed a downward trend with fluctuations, including a significant decrease to $293 million in the second quarter of 2023, followed by a recovery up to $1,757 million in the third quarter of 2023. The data for 2024 shows volatility with sales varying between $167 million and $1,820 million, indicating unstable revenue generation in recent quarters.
- Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
- Property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) consistently increased over the entire period from 2019 to 2024. Starting from $213 million in the first quarter of 2019, the asset base grew gradually, reaching $372 million by the first quarter of 2021. The growth accelerated in the following years, peaking at $2,381 million in the third quarter of 2024. This upward trend implies substantial capital investment, reflecting expansion in production capacity or infrastructure enhancements.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio was not reported until the first quarter of 2021. This ratio experienced a significant increase from 0.67 to a peak of 16.77 in the third quarter of 2021, suggesting highly efficient use of fixed assets in generating sales during that period. However, from that peak, the ratio shows a marked decline, decreasing to 2.08 by the third quarter of 2024. This decline suggests that while fixed assets increased, the sales growth did not keep pace proportionally, indicating reduced asset utilization efficiency in recent periods.

The quarterly financial data reveals distinct trends in net product sales, property, plant and equipment (PP&E), and net fixed asset turnover from 2019 through mid-2024.
- Net Product Sales
- Net product sales demonstrate a pronounced upward trajectory beginning in early 2021. Sales increased sharply from 200 million US dollars in Q1 2021 to a peak of 6,935 million US dollars in Q1 2022. After peaking, sales experienced a general declining trend through the remainder of 2022 and into 2023, dropping to 3,120 million US dollars by Q4 2022 and further decreasing to as low as 167 million US dollars in Q1 2024. However, there is a moderate recovery observed starting Q2 2024, with sales rising to 1,820 million US dollars by Q4 2024. The data suggests a significant surge in product sales during the initial pandemic phase, followed by waning demand or other factors reducing sales, with some signs of recovery in the most recent quarters.
- Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
- The net value of PP&E increased steadily over the full period. Starting at 213 million US dollars in Q1 2019, the asset base more than doubled, reaching 898 million by Q2 2021, and continued to grow to 3,165 million US dollars by Q3 2024. This sustained investment in fixed assets aligns with expansion efforts, supporting increased production capacities particularly during the peak sales periods in 2021 and early 2022. The growth rate in PP&E appears consistent without notable contractions or disposals, indicating stable asset accumulation.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio, which measures sales generated per unit of fixed asset investment, shows significant volatility. Initially reported as 0.52 in Q1 2021, the ratio sharply increases to a high of 15.35 in Q3 2022, reflecting the period when sales were rapidly expanding relative to the asset base. After peaking, the ratio declines steadily as sales fall and asset values continue to rise, reaching approximately 1.57 in Q3 2024. This pattern highlights that although asset investments have grown continuously, sales have not kept pace post-peak, leading to diminished asset efficiency in the later periods.
In summary, the company experienced a rapid scale-up in sales coinciding with increased asset investment through 2021 and early 2022. Following this peak, sales declined substantially while asset investments continued to grow, resulting in a decreasing fixed asset turnover ratio. The recent slight rebound in sales may indicate efforts to restore asset productivity and market demand.

- Net Product Sales
- Net product sales demonstrate a strong upward trajectory beginning in the first quarter of 2021, where sales reached 200 million USD, peaking in the first quarter of 2022 at 6,935 million USD. Subsequently, sales show a consistent decline through 2023 and into 2024, dropping to 184 million USD by the third quarter of 2024. This pattern suggests a significant surge followed by a gradual normalization or reduction in sales volume.
- Total Assets
- Total assets reveal a steady increase over the entire period, starting at 1,806 million USD in the first quarter of 2019 and peaking at 27,609 million USD in the first quarter of 2022. After reaching this peak, total assets gradually decrease through the subsequent quarters, reaching approximately 15,803 million USD by the third quarter of 2024. This indicates substantial asset growth leading up to early 2022, followed by a moderate decline, possibly reflecting asset reallocation or depreciation.
- Total Asset Turnover
- Total asset turnover, available from the last quarter of 2020 onwards, initially improves markedly from 0.03 to a high of 0.85 by the third quarter of 2021, indicating increased efficiency in generating sales from assets. Thereafter, turnover progressively declines to approximately 0.31 by the third quarter of 2024. This decline in asset turnover ratio suggests a decreasing efficiency in utilizing assets to generate sales during the later periods.
- Overall Observations
- The analysis reveals a period of rapid growth in sales and assets culminating around early 2022, accompanied by improvements in asset utilization efficiency. Post-peak, both sales and asset turnover decline while total assets decrease moderately, highlighting a transition from a high-growth phase to a contraction or stabilization phase. The decline in asset turnover despite the reduction in total assets may reflect challenges in maintaining sales levels relative to the asset base during the downtrend period.

The financial data reveals several notable trends across the periods presented.
- Net Product Sales
- Net product sales exhibit a significant increase starting from the March 31, 2021 quarter, with values rising sharply from US$200 million to a peak of US$6,935 million by March 31, 2022. Subsequent quarters show a declining trend, dropping to US$1,828 million by March 31, 2023, and fluctuating thereafter with notable volatility, reaching lows of US$167 million and highs around US$2,793 million through June 30, 2024. This pattern indicates a rapid growth phase followed by a reduction and some recovery, reflecting potentially significant market or product lifecycle effects.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- The stockholders' equity shows an overall upward trajectory throughout the entire period. Starting at US$1,446 million in March 31, 2019, it experiences substantial growth over the years, reaching a peak of US$19,123 million in December 31, 2022. Thereafter, there is a moderate decline to approximately US$11,712 million by June 30, 2024. Despite this partial decrease, stockholders' equity remains well above the initial levels, indicating an accumulation of company value over the time frame.
- Equity Turnover Ratio
- Equity turnover, a measure of how efficiently equity is used to generate sales, appears only from March 31, 2021 onward. It starts at a low 0.08, then rises sharply to 1.28 by June 30, 2022, signaling improved utilization of equity for sales generation during the rapid sales growth phase. After peaking, the ratio declines steadily to 0.39 by June 30, 2024, reflecting reduced sales efficiency relative to equity. This decline correlates with the observed drop in net product sales and the leveling off of stockholders' equity.
Overall, the data suggest a period of rapid product sales expansion, likely due to a strong product demand, with concurrent growth in company equity. However, following the peak sales quarter in early 2022, net sales contract considerably while equity remains elevated but begins to decrease. The declining equity turnover ratio points to reduced efficiency in converting equity into sales in recent quarters. These patterns may indicate market saturation, product lifecycle maturation, or changes in operational dynamics affecting sales performance and capital efficiency.
