Net Earnings (Loss)
The net earnings demonstrate notable volatility throughout the periods, with substantial losses recorded in multiple quarters, particularly in the early parts of 2020 and late 2021 through early 2025. Occasional positive earnings occur sporadically, for instance in mid-2021 and mid-2022, but overall the trend suggests recurring financial challenges. The largest losses are concentrated around the end of 2020 and late 2024.
Share-Based Plans Expense
This expense fluctuates but generally remains within a moderate range, peaking around the first quarter of 2023 before declining gradually towards mid-2025. The consistent presence of this expense indicates ongoing compensation costs linked to share-based incentivization.
Treasury Shares Issued for 401(k) Contribution
Data available from late 2020 onward shows an upward trend with some fluctuations, reflecting changes in the issuance of treasury shares likely linked to employee retirement plans. The amounts exhibit moderate variability but generally increase over time, peaking in early 2024.
Depreciation and Amortization
This line item remains relatively stable across all periods, with minor fluctuations generally below 600 million US dollars, suggesting consistent capital asset usage and amortization policies.
Investment/Asset Impairment Charges, Net
Impairment charges spike sharply in the second quarter of 2020, but are otherwise low and erratic. This pattern may reflect specific impairment events in 2020, with a general trend of lower impairment activity in subsequent periods.
(Gain) Loss on Dispositions, Net
These gains and losses show irregularity, featuring both positive and negative values without a clear temporal pattern. Notably, large gains are seen in late 2021 and in 2024, indicating significant disposition activity that results in realized gains.
777X and 767 Reach-Forward Losses
Recorded only in certain periods (notably in 2020, 2021, and sporadically in 2024), these losses are large and suggest ongoing costs or write-downs specific to those programs, with a downward trend in amounts over time.
Other Charges and Credits, Net
This category exhibits high volatility with significant positive and negative values. The variability suggests that this catch-all category includes multiple, differing non-recurring charges or income items without a clear trend.
Non-Cash Items
Non-cash items peak dramatically at the end of 2020 and remain high but somewhat variable in following periods. This points to substantial accounting adjustments unrelated to immediate cash flow, impacting earnings especially during periods of operational stress.
Working Capital Components
Items such as Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Receivables, Advances and Progress Billings, Inventories, Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable, and Accrued Liabilities exhibit significant fluctuations over time:
Accounts Receivable and Unbilled Receivables
These fluctuate widely with no consistent trend, reflecting changing sales activity and billing across quarters.
Advances and Progress Billings
Demonstrate notable volatility, alternating between positive and negative changes, indicative of variable contract progress and billing timing.
Inventories
Show substantial swing from strong reductions in early 2020 to sharp increases by late 2022, followed by repeated fluctuations, suggesting variable production and supply chain dynamics.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
Also variable but with instances of sharp changes implying fluctuating obligations likely linked to operational activities or payment timing.
Income Taxes Receivable, Payable and Deferred
Values display significant variation, with occasional sizable positive and negative movements, indicating inconsistent tax positioning likely due to fluctuating profitability.
Other Long-Term Liabilities and Pension/Postretirement Plans
Both trend downward gradually, with pension and postretirement liabilities decreasing modestly over time, reflecting possible plan funding or actuarial changes.
Financing Receivables and Operating Lease Equipment, Net
Values remain low and inconsistent, with occasional spikes in mid-2023, suggesting occasional financing or leasing activities.
Changes in Assets and Liabilities
These figures fluctuate greatly, including both significant cash consumption and generation periods. Notable cash inflows occur in late 2022 and early 2023, whereas large outflows occur in 2024, highlighting variable working capital and operational cash cycle impacts.
Adjustments to Reconcile Net Earnings to Cash Provided by Operating Activities
This adjustment shows large swings, with notable peaks matching periods of extreme net earnings volatility, underlining the disconnect between accounting earnings and actual operating cash flow, particularly in turbulent quarters.
Net Cash Provided (Used) by Operating Activities
Operating cash flows are generally negative or low in the early years with a marked improvement in mid to late 2022, followed by renewed variability. This pattern suggests operational recovery and strain alternating over time.
Investing Activities
Payments to acquire property, plant, and equipment maintain a relatively steady outflow trend, with occasional spikes indicating increased capital investment. Proceeds from disposals are minor and sporadic. Net cash from investing activities oscillates between large outflows in 2020 and inflows in mid-periods of 2021 and 2022, followed mostly by outflows again, reflecting ongoing investment cycles and asset management.
Financing Activities
New borrowings are substantial in some quarters, especially early 2020 and 2024, with debt repayments varying widely, including significant repayments in late 2021. Common stock issuances occur notably in late 2024, coupled with mandatory convertible preferred stock issuance. Financing cash flow exhibits significant volatility, indicating active capital structure management.
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes
Foreign exchange impact is generally modest with irregular positive and negative movements, contributing minor effects on cash balances.
Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash levels experience considerable fluctuations with marked cash inflows in early 2020 and mid-2022, contrasted by large outflows in late 2020 and late 2024. The cash position reveals sensitivity to operating performance, investing, and financing activities with periods of both replenishment and depletion.
