Net Income Trends
Net income demonstrated significant volatility throughout the periods. A substantial loss occurred in 2020 Q4, followed by a recovery with steady increases in 2021. Earnings peaked in mid-2022 but displayed fluctuations afterwards, with a general decline from late 2023 to mid-2025.
Depreciation and Depletion
Depreciation and depletion expenses showed considerable variation, with an exceptionally high amount in 2020 Q4, likely due to impairments. Subsequent quarters stabilized at lower levels but with occasional spikes, notably in late 2023.
Operational Working Capital Changes
Changes in operational working capital were inconsistent, alternating between positive and negative adjustments. Large negative shifts were observed in mid-2023 and mid-2024, indicating possible tightening of working capital or inventory adjustments during these times.
Other Items, Net
All other items oscillated notably between gains and losses, lacking a clear trend. Large negative impacts occurred intermittently, particularly in 2020 and late 2022, suggesting irregular or one-time events affecting cash flows.
Operating Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities trended upward from 2020 into 2022, peaking in the third quarter of 2022. Afterward, operating cash flow levels exhibited variability with a moderate declining tendency through to mid-2025.
Capital Expenditures
Additions to property, plant, and equipment were relatively steady but increased with notable peaks at the end of 2023 and through 2024, reflecting higher investment activity in these later periods.
Proceeds from Asset Sales
Proceeds from asset sales fluctuated, with significant spikes in late 2021 and late 2022. This suggests periods of asset divestment contributing to inflows, somewhat offsetting capital expenditures.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was consistently negative, marking sustained capital deployment. The amount decreased slightly in early periods but showed increases in cash outflows in later quarters, especially 2024 and 2025, indicating intensified investment or acquisition efforts.
Debt Issuance and Repayment
Additions to long-term debt appeared sporadic without a clear pattern, while reductions were minimal until a large repayment occurred in mid-2024. Short-term debt movements were more frequent, with notable repayments surpassing additions in several periods, indicating active management of short-term liabilities.
Dividends
Cash dividends to shareholders remained relatively stable but showed a gradual increase over time. Dividends to noncontrolling interests increased substantially in 2023, indicating changes in ownership or profitability sharing arrangements.
Common Stock Transactions
Common stock was consistently repurchased, with increasing amounts from 2021 onward, reflecting ongoing share buyback programs. The scale of repurchases intensified notably from late 2021 through mid-2025.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash used in financing activities was generally negative or modestly positive, with large cash outflows recorded in most quarters after 2020, especially in 2021 and subsequent years. This indicates more cash used for debt repayment, dividend payments, and stock repurchases than raised through borrowings.
Cash Balance Changes
The net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents reflected the combined impact of operating, investing, and financing activities. Large positive changes occurred in early 2022 and late 2022, while significant declines were evident in several quarters of 2023 and 2024, suggesting cash usage exceeded generation in those periods.
