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.
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2025-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2025-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2024-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2024-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-04-30), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-01-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-10-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-07-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-04-30).
- Net Income (Loss)
- Net income exhibits significant volatility over the periods, with persistent losses from 2019 through early 2021, followed by sporadic gains and losses. Starting from January 2024, a notable surge in profitability occurs, peaking sharply at 1188 million USD in January 2024, before stabilizing at lower but positive levels.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- Depreciation and amortization remain relatively stable, gradually increasing from approximately 61 million USD in early 2019 to the low 90s million USD by 2025, indicating consistent capital asset usage and amortization of intangible assets.
- Share-Based Compensation Expense
- This expense shows a steady upward trend from 185 million USD in early 2019 to a peak around 459 million USD by July 2025. This reflects a growing reliance on employee equity compensation or increasing equity awards over time.
- Amortization of Deferred Costs
- Amortization of deferred costs increases consistently, from 21 million USD in early 2019 to 72 million USD by mid-2025, which may suggest expanding deferred acquisition or contract costs being expensed over time.
- Non-Cash Lease Expense
- This item has a modest upward trajectory, starting at 16 million USD and peaking around 27 million USD, indicating gradual growth in lease-related expenses recorded on a non-cash basis.
- (Gains) Losses on Investments, Net
- Investment gains and losses are volatile, with occasional sharp gains (notably -106 million in July 2021) and losses, but generally minor in magnitude relative to other operating items. This contributes to fluctuations in certain quarters.
- Accretion of Discounts on Marketable Debt Securities, Net
- This figure shows increasing negative values from mid-2022 onward, reflecting growing accretion expenses connected to marketable securities holdings over recent periods.
- Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities
- The net changes fluctuate considerably with frequent large swings both positive and negative, indicating variable working capital movements and reflecting the dynamic operational environment.
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
- Operating cash flow demonstrates periodic fluctuations with an overall upward trend, reaching a pronounced peak of 1,112 million USD in January 2025. This suggests improving cash generation efficiency in the latest periods despite earlier variability.
- Purchases and Sales of Marketable Securities
- Purchases of marketable securities exhibit considerable volatility with large outflows peaking notably in 2022, indicating aggressive investment activities. Maturities and sales of marketable securities provide intermittent inflows but do not consistently offset purchases, affecting investing cash flows.
- Capital Expenditures
- Capital expenditures vary between approximately 28 million and 241 million USD quarterly, with occasional spikes, indicating periodic investments in fixed assets which fluctuate over the years without a clear upward or downward trend.
- Business Combinations
- There are significant outflows associated with business combinations in select periods, particularly around 2020 and 2021, indicative of acquisition activities during those times.
- Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
- Investing cash flow consistently shows negative values, with sharp declines during acquisition periods and heavy marketable securities purchases, signaling sustained cash usage for investment and acquisition purposes.
- Debt Issuance and Repayments
- There is notable debt issuance activity around mid-2020 and 2022, followed by subsequent repayments primarily in late 2022 and 2023. This reflects strategic debt management, possibly to support financing needs linked to acquisitions or investments.
- Stock Repurchases and Issuances
- Stock repurchases start around early 2022 with substantial volumes, indicating active share buyback programs. Proceeds from employee equity plans generally offset these repurchases but are smaller in magnitude, suggesting net reductions in outstanding equity overall.
- Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
- Financing cash flows experience wide swings, with large inflows mainly in periods of debt issuance and equity plans, and significant outflows during repurchases and debt repayments. The financing activities reflect deliberate capital structure adjustments and shareholder return policies.
- Effect of Exchange Rate Changes
- The impact of exchange rate changes on cash flows is minimal and inconsistent, contributing marginally to overall cash flow variations throughout the periods.
- Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
- Cash levels show substantial volatility with periods of both strong increases and marked decreases. Positive cash changes are especially notable at the beginning of 2020, mid-2021, and late 2024, while significant declines are observed at various points, indicating challenging or opportunistic cash management dynamics.
