Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE)
Based on: 10-K (reporting date: 2024-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2023-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31).
The analysis of the provided financial data for the company over the reported periods identifies notable trends and fluctuations in cash flows generated from operating activities and free cash flow to equity (FCFE).
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
-
This indicator shows a decreasing trend from 10,688 million US dollars in 2020 to 5,808 million US dollars in 2024. The value dropped significantly in 2021 to 8,364 million US dollars and stabilized somewhat in the following two years with 8,399 million and 8,061 million US dollars respectively, before experiencing a further notable decline in 2024. This trend suggests a reduction in cash inflows from the core business operations over the five-year period.
- Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE)
-
FCFE values exhibit more variability in comparison, beginning at 9,369 million US dollars in 2020, increasing to a peak of 9,996 million US dollars in 2021. It then declined over the next two years to 8,109 million and 7,390 million US dollars in 2022 and 2023 respectively. However, the figure rebounded sharply in 2024 to 10,752 million US dollars, exceeding the initial and previous years' levels. This suggests that the company’s ability to generate cash available to equity shareholders experienced an overall positive outcome by the end of the period, despite intermediate fluctuations.
In summary, while operating cash flows show a consistent downward trajectory, FCFE demonstrates resilience and recuperation by the end of the period. This divergence could imply improvements in financial management, investment strategy, or financing activities that positively influenced cash flow available to equity holders even as operational cash generation declined.
