The financial information reveals significant fluctuations in both net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow to equity over the five-year period. A notable increase in both metrics occurred between 2021 and 2022, followed by varying degrees of adjustment in subsequent years.
- Net Cash from Operations
- Net cash provided by operating activities demonstrated a substantial increase from US$29,187 million in 2021 to US$49,602 million in 2022. This represents a growth of approximately 70.4%. Following this peak, the figure decreased to US$35,609 million in 2023, then further to US$31,492 million in 2024. A slight recovery to US$33,939 million is observed in 2025, but remains below the 2022 high.
- Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE)
- Free cash flow to equity exhibited a similar pattern of growth and subsequent adjustment. It rose dramatically from US$8,195 million in 2021 to US$29,149 million in 2022, an increase of over 255%. FCFE then declined to US$15,725 million in 2023. A moderate increase to US$18,612 million occurred in 2024, and continued to US$22,458 million in 2025. While the 2025 value represents an improvement over 2023 and 2024, it does not reach the peak observed in 2022.
The correlation between net cash from operations and FCFE is apparent. The substantial increase in operating cash flow in 2022 directly contributed to the surge in FCFE during the same period. The subsequent declines and recoveries in operating cash flow are mirrored in the FCFE figures. The difference between the two metrics suggests that factors beyond core operating activities, such as capital expenditures or financing decisions, also influence the final FCFE value.
The observed volatility in FCFE suggests potential sensitivity to external factors impacting the business, such as commodity price fluctuations or changes in operational costs. The trend from 2022 to 2025 indicates a return towards more moderate levels of cash generation after the exceptional performance in 2022.

A significant decrease was observed in 2022, falling to 10.59, coinciding with the substantial increase in FCFE per share.
