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.

The financial statement information reveals significant fluctuations in cash flow patterns over the observed period. Operating activities demonstrate a generally positive trend in net cash provided, though with considerable quarterly variation. Investing activities consistently represent a cash outflow, while financing activities exhibit substantial volatility, swinging between net cash inflows and outflows. A notable surge in net cash provided by financing activities is observed in the final periods, driven by significant proceeds from debt.
- Operating Activities
- Net cash provided by operating activities generally increased from approximately $10 million in January 2020 to a peak of over $1.095 billion in July 2024. However, this was followed by a substantial decrease to $275 million in April 2025. The adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities show considerable variability, with large positive adjustments in several quarters, particularly between April 2020 and October 2021. These adjustments are largely influenced by non-cash items such as stock-based compensation, amortization, and deferred income taxes. Accounts receivable, inventories, and prepaid assets demonstrate fluctuating impacts on cash flow, indicating potential shifts in working capital management.
- Investing Activities
- Investing activities consistently resulted in net cash outflows throughout the period. Purchases of property and equipment represent a significant component of these outflows, generally ranging from $30 million to $55 million per quarter. Strategic investments also contributed to cash outflows, with a particularly large outflow in the first quarter of 2024. There were some offsetting inflows from sales of strategic investments and a building sale, but these were insufficient to offset the overall outflow. A substantial business divestiture in April 2025 resulted in a large cash inflow, significantly altering the typical pattern.
- Financing Activities
- Financing activities exhibited the most pronounced volatility. Proceeds from debt were a major driver of cash inflows in several quarters, particularly in the earlier periods and again in the final periods, with a massive inflow in April 2025. Repayment of debt consistently represented a cash outflow, though generally smaller than the proceeds received. Issuances of common stock also contributed to cash inflows, while purchases of treasury stock consistently represented a cash outflow. Payments for taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards were a notable outflow, particularly in the later periods. A significant redemption of redeemable non-controlling interest occurred in April 2025, contributing to the large cash inflow.
- Overall Cash Position
- The net change in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash fluctuated significantly. Periods of strong operating and financing cash inflows, such as the second and third quarters of 2020 and the first and second quarters of 2021, resulted in substantial increases in cash. Conversely, periods with large investing and financing outflows led to decreases in cash. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash was relatively minor compared to the other cash flow components, though it did contribute to both inflows and outflows at various times.
The substantial increase in net cash provided by financing activities in the final periods, coupled with the large business divestiture proceeds, dramatically altered the cash position. The company experienced a significant cash inflow in the period ending April 2025, contrasting with the consistent cash outflows observed in investing activities throughout the analyzed timeframe.
