- Net Earnings (Loss) Including Noncontrolling Interests
- The net earnings showed considerable volatility over the periods. After a peak of over 1.37 billion USD in June 2019, earnings dropped sharply in March 2020 and posted a significant loss in June 2020, likely impacted by extraordinary circumstances. Earnings gradually recovered, peaking again above 1.21 billion USD in July 2023, before trending downward towards 558 million USD in June 2025.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- Depreciation and amortization expenses have remained relatively stable, fluctuating moderately between approximately 342 million USD and 448 million USD throughout the periods. There is a slight upward trend in recent periods, indicating consistent investments in long-lived assets.
- Deferred Income Taxes, Net
- Deferred income taxes exhibited significant fluctuations, alternating between negative and positive values, with no clear trend. This suggests variable timing differences and tax planning dynamics impacting the company’s tax liabilities.
- Income Earned from Equity Method Investees, Net
- The income earned from equity method investees remained predominantly negative, showing periodic losses that deepen notably around the first half of 2021 and 2023. The losses reflect challenges or reduced profitability of associated companies during these intervals.
- Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees
- Distributions received exhibit considerable variability but generally increased over time with spikes in early 2022 and mid-2024, indicating possible realization of investment returns or improved cash flows from investees.
- Stock-based Compensation
- Stock-based compensation fluctuated without a clear trend but remains a consistent component of operating expenses, with values typically ranging from about 41 million to over 100 million USD, pointing towards a stable use of equity incentives as part of compensation.
- Non-cash Lease Costs
- Non-cash lease costs increased significantly starting from late 2021, peaking above 490 million USD in mid-2025. This rising trend highlights higher leased asset liabilities, possibly reflecting changes in lease accounting or increased leasing activities.
- Loss on Retirement and Impairment of Assets
- This expense showed episodic spikes, notably a large increase in the second half of 2020 and further sizeable amounts in 2024-2025. These impairments indicate periodic asset write-downs potentially tied to strategic restructuring or asset rationalization.
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts receivable fluctuated widely, oscillating between negative and positive values through the periods, with no sustained directional trend, indicating varying credit sales and collections patterns.
- Inventories
- Inventory levels were highly volatile, with large positive peaks interspersed with steep declines, especially notable negative swings in early to mid-2022 and 2025. These fluctuations likely reflect changes in inventory management, supply chain dynamics, or demand shifts.
- Income Taxes Payable
- The income taxes payable account demonstrated sharp fluctuations with intermittent large negative balances, including a significant negative peak in March 2020. This volatile pattern points to shifting tax obligations and possibly large tax refunds or credits in certain quarters.
- Accounts Payable
- Accounts payable balances fluctuated considerably, alternating between positive and negative values. A pattern of spikes in payable amounts suggests episodic variations in supplier payments, possibly related to working capital management.
- Deferred Revenue
- Deferred revenue showed extreme volatility with large positive and negative swings across the timeline. This indicates irregularities or seasonality in customer prepayments and related revenue recognition timing.
- Operating Lease Liability
- Operating lease liabilities increased steadily from 2019 through 2025, peaking beyond 510 million USD, reflecting either expanded leasing commitments or revised lease accounting standards increasing reported liabilities.
- Other Operating Assets and Liabilities
- This category showed substantial fluctuations throughout, with large positive and negative movements suggesting variability in miscellaneous operating accounts, possibly including accruals and adjustments.
- Cash Provided by (Used in) Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities
- Cash flows related to operating assets and liabilities were highly variable, with notable negative spikes especially around 2020 and 2022, indicating periods of working capital expansion or tightening.
- Adjustments to Reconcile Net Earnings to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
- Adjustments also fluctuated widely correlating with periods of earnings volatility and asset impairments, reflecting significant non-cash charges and changes in working capital along with income reconciliation.
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
- Operating cash flows exhibited substantial swings, with large troughs in early 2020 coinciding with net earnings losses, and recoveries thereafter. The cash flows generally reflect resilience but with significant sensitivity to operational disruptions.
- Investing Activities
- Investing cash flows were predominantly negative across most periods, driven by consistent capital expenditures on property, plant, and equipment, which peaked near 800 million USD per quarter in recent periods. Occasional positive cash inflows from divestitures and investment maturities partially offset these outflows.
- Financing Activities
- Financing cash flows displayed notable volatility, with large negative spikes in repurchases of common stock, particularly in 2018 to early 2020, followed by substantial net issuances of debt. Dividends paid remained consistently negative and steadily increasing over time, indicating sustained shareholder return policies.
- Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Exchange rate effects on cash showed moderate volatility but generally smaller in magnitude compared to other cash flow items, occasionally contributing positively or negatively to cash balances.
- Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The net cash position experienced extreme volatility correlating with operational, investing, and financing activity swings, recording large negative movements during crisis periods (e.g., early 2020) and positive gains during recovery phases, affirming the company’s cash flow sensitivity to external and internal financial dynamics.
