The financial data reveals several notable trends and fluctuations across multiple quarters.
- Net earnings (loss) attributable to HPE
- Net earnings exhibit significant volatility over the periods, with notable losses in Oct 2018, Apr 2020, and Jan 2023. There are peaks in Jan 2022 (2553 million US$) and generally positive earnings but with irregular downward spikes, indicating fluctuating profitability.
- Depreciation and amortization
- This expense remains relatively stable, fluctuating mildly between approximately 616 million US$ and 690 million US$, suggesting consistent asset usage and capital expenditure patterns.
- Impairment of goodwill
- Impairments occurred notably in Oct 2018 (88 million US$), Apr 2020 (865 million US$), and Jan 2023 (905 million US$), indicating significant write-downs at these times likely due to reassessments of asset values or business conditions.
- Stock-based compensation expense
- Stock-based compensation shows moderate fluctuations, with some upward trends during 2021 and spikes in early 2023, suggesting variable incentive costs possibly tied to company performance or share price movements.
- Provision for inventory and credit losses
- This provision varies considerably, with elevated levels around Apr 2022 (167 million US$) and periodic increases indicating challenges in inventory management or credit risks.
- Restructuring charges
- Restructuring expenses fluctuate, with peaks in 2020 and early 2021, suggesting periods of organizational adjustment or cost-saving initiatives.
- Deferred taxes on earnings (loss)
- This item experiences dramatic swings, notably a large positive value in Oct 2018 (3444 million US$) and significant negative and positive changes across many periods, reflecting complex tax impacts from earnings volatility.
- Earnings from equity interests
- Generally negative or minimal earnings from equity interests over the periods, with occasional small positive spikes, indicating limited contribution from equity investments.
- Dividends received from equity investees
- Dividends appear intermittently, with irregular payments through the years, possibly reflecting the performance or policies of investee companies.
- Other, net
- This item is highly volatile, shifting between positive and negative values, indicating variability in miscellaneous income or expenses.
- Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions
- Strong fluctuations are observed, with significant negative values in multiple quarters, indicating changing working capital needs and operational cash flow impacts.
- Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities
- Operating cash flow is generally positive but with some quarters marked by sharp declines, especially a notable negative cash flow in early 2023, reflecting variable operational performance.
- Investment in property, plant and equipment
- Capital expenditures are relatively steady but show increases in late 2021 and 2022, indicating investment in long-term assets remained a priority despite earnings volatility.
- Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment
- Proceeds vary widely, with some large inflows in certain quarters such as Oct 2018 and Jan 2020, offsetting investment costs to some extent.
- Net cash used in investing activities
- Investing cash flows are predominantly outflows, often substantial, reflecting consistent investment activities and business acquisitions/divestitures.
- Short-term borrowings and debt activities
- Debt-related cash flows reveal active borrowing and repayment patterns, with some quarters showing large net proceeds from debt issuance, especially in 2019 and 2020, while repayments also spike notably, indicating dynamic capital structure management.
- Repurchase of common stock
- Share repurchases decline over time, with strong buyback activity up to 2019 diminishing significantly by 2023-2024, indicating a possible shift in shareholder return strategy.
- Cash dividends paid to shareholders
- Dividend payments remain relatively consistent, with slight increases in recent periods, pointing to stable shareholder distributions.
- Increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
- Cash levels show considerable volatility, including sharp declines in early and mid-2018 and late 2020, with intermittent recovery periods, reflecting the overall variable cash flow environment.
