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.

- Net income
- The net income demonstrates considerable volatility across the periods, with notable peaks in early 2020, early 2021, and early 2024, reaching several hundred thousand US dollars. There are intermittent declines, particularly mid-2020 and early 2023, indicating variability in profitability.
- Depreciation and amortization
- Depreciation and amortization expense steadily increased over the timeline, roughly doubling from around 32,823 thousand US dollars in mid-2019 to over 127,459 thousand US dollars by late 2025, suggesting ongoing investments in fixed assets and intangibles.
- Impairment and obsolescence provisions
- There are significant one-time charges recorded in selected quarters, particularly a large impairment and restructuring cost in early 2023 (~407,913 thousand US dollars) and studio obsolescence provision in late 2022 and early 2023, reflecting asset writedowns and restructuring efforts.
- Stock-based compensation expense
- This expense fluctuates across periods without a clear trend, generally staying between approximately 6,000 and 25,000 thousand US dollars, with a rare negative value observed in late 2024, potentially due to accounting adjustments.
- Working capital components
-
- Inventories
- Inventory levels display considerable variability with large negative and positive swings, notably extremely negative values in mid-2022 and early 2023, followed by substantial positive adjustments. This may indicate challenges in inventory management or seasonal fluctuations.
- Accounts payable
- Accounts payable figures experience large fluctuations, occasionally showing substantial negative or positive values, suggesting changing supplier payment patterns or credit terms possibly related to inventory management.
- Accrued liabilities and accrued compensation
- Both accrued liabilities and accrued compensation show frequent significant changes, including large positive and negative amounts, indicating variability in obligations and expense recognition possibly linked to compensation cycles and accrual adjustments.
- Operating activities cash flow
- Cash flow from operations is generally positive and has increased notably over time, with some periods of negative cash flow correlating with net income decreases. The highest inflows occur around early 2024, indicating strong operational cash generation despite income fluctuations.
- Investing activities cash flow
- Investing activities consistently consume cash each period, largely driven by significant purchases of property and equipment. The negative cash flows deepen over time, particularly notable in mid-2020 and from 2023 onward, consistent with business expansion or asset replacement.
- Financing activities cash flow
- Cash used in financing activities varies, with pronounced negative amounts reflecting significant common stock repurchases from 2021 to 2025. There are occasional positive inflows related to stock-based compensation proceeds and other financing actions.
- Foreign currency effects
- The effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash exhibits volatility, alternating between positive and negative impacts, suggesting exposure to exchange rate risk that influences reported cash balances.
- Overall cash position changes
- The increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents shows considerable fluctuations, with several quarters of substantial cash inflows particularly in early 2020, early 2021, and early 2024. Conversely, some periods exhibit sharp decreases reflecting combined effects of investing and financing outflows.
