Net Income
Net income displays considerable volatility across the periods, with intermittent sharp increases and declines. Notably, there is a peak in late 2019, followed by fluctuations and a moderate upward trend in recent quarters, reaching another high in late 2025.
Depreciation and Amortization
This expense remains relatively stable throughout the periods, showing a gradual decline starting from early 2022. The trend suggests steady asset usage with slightly reduced amortization or depreciation over the long term.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation exhibits mild fluctuations, peaking around mid-2021, then trending slightly downward but remaining within a consistent range. This indicates a relatively steady policy on employee compensation in equity.
Deferred Income Taxes
The deferred income taxes row reflects variability without a clear trend, oscillating between negative and positive values. This points to fluctuating tax-related timing differences, likely influenced by changes in tax regulations or company tax planning strategies.
Other, Net
This item is marked by irregular swings, including substantial positive and negative values, particularly notable in late 2021 with a significant negative amount. The inconsistency suggests episodic adjustments or one-off transactions.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable figures alternate markedly between positive and negative values, pointing to significant timing differences in collections and credit management. Recent periods show improved positive balances, indicating potentially enhanced collections or sales activity.
Financing Receivables
Financing receivables remain generally small and fluctuate between positive and negative, reflecting variability in financing arrangements or adjustments in related receivables.
Inventories
Inventory levels fluctuate substantially, with frequent shifts between positive and negative values, including marked reductions in some quarters. These changes may indicate inventory management challenges or changing demand cycles.
Other Assets and Liabilities
This item demonstrates pronounced volatility with large positive and negative swings, including a steep increase around late 2025. Such variations could be due to reclassifications, impairments, or other significant balance sheet adjustments.
Due From/To Related Party, Net
Data is limited to certain periods but shows significant fluctuations both positive and negative, indicating active intercompany transactions with notable balances unsettled at times.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable exhibits wide-ranging changes, frequently switching from negative to positive large values. The trend suggests variable supplier payment timing and possible strategic working capital adjustments.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue displays a highly inconsistent pattern, with sharp increases and decreases, reflecting variability in revenue recognition timing, possibly tied to contract changes or shifts in billing schedules.
Changes in Assets and Liabilities
The changes in assets and liabilities fluctuate broadly, with both large positive and negative amounts, indicating dynamic movements in working capital components and possibly reflecting responses to external economic conditions.
Adjustments to Reconcile Net Income to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
This line shows substantial positive values in numerous quarters, underlying non-cash expenses or other adjustments that significantly impact the reconciliation between net income and operational cash flow, with some intermittent negative adjustments.
Change in Cash from Operating Activities
Operating cash flow trends generally positive and robust, with notable spikes in some quarters, implying strong cash generation from core business despite the volatility in net income and working capital movements.
Purchases and Maturities/Sales of Investments
Investment activity shows relatively moderate purchases, generally exceeding sales or maturities, suggesting a net allocation of resources towards investments over the observed periods.
Capital Expenditures and Capitalized Software Development Costs
Capital expenditures remain consistently high and fairly stable, indicating continued investment in property, plant, equipment, and software development with no clear trend toward increase or decrease.
Acquisition and Divestiture Activity
Acquisitions show sporadic activity with occasional sizeable outflows, whereas divestitures demonstrate infrequent but substantial inflows, reflecting a dynamic approach to portfolio adjustments.
Change in Cash from Investing Activities
Investing cash flows vary widely, with both significant inflows and outflows corresponding to acquisition/divestiture and investment transactions, lacking a definitive directional trend.
Dividends Paid and Stock Transactions
Dividend payments are relatively steady and predictable over the periods. Repurchases of common stock show periodic large outflows, indicating active share repurchase programs. Proceeds from stock issuance remain small and intermittent.
Debt Activity
Proceeds from debt fluctuate widely with several large inflows, particularly evident in mid-periods. Debt repayments often equal or exceed proceeds, reflecting active debt management aimed at controlling leverage. Debt-related costs are generally minor but occasionally elevated.
Change in Cash from Financing Activities
Financing cash flows present substantial variability, alternating between significant inflows and large outflows, highlighting opportunistic financing and deleveraging activities as well as shareholder returns.
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes
The impact of exchange rate changes on cash is relatively minor and inconsistent, with occasional positive or negative effects, indicating currency exposure but no major trend.
Overall Change in Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The net cash position experiences significant fluctuations, combining effects from operating, investing, and financing activities alongside currency translation effects. The company achieves large positive cash inflows during various periods but also endures sharp declines, reflecting active overall cash management amid substantial financial activity.
