Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow statement provides information about a company cash receipts and cash payments during an accounting period, showing how these cash flows link the ending cash balance to the beginning balance shown on the company balance sheet.

- Net Income Trends
- Net income attributable to the company exhibited a general downward trend from 2018 through 2020, declining from $2,162 million to $631 million. A recovery began in 2021, increasing to $1,849 million by 2023. Total net income followed a similar pattern, decreasing sharply through 2020 before increasing again in the two subsequent years, reaching $2,033 million in 2023. Income attributable to noncontrolling interests showed modest fluctuations but remained relatively stable compared to net income attributable to the company.
- Depreciation, Amortization and Pension
- Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased substantially from 2018 to 2019 but stabilized between 2020 and 2023, fluctuating narrowly around $820–$850 million. Pension and postretirement benefit expenses exhibited volatility, including income recognition in some years (notably in 2018 and 2021) and expenses in others, indicating varying pension-related charges and contributions over the period.
- Non-Cash Charges and Other Adjustments
- Non-cash restructuring and impairment charges increased markedly, peaking in 2023 at $827 million after previously rising and falling, indicating ongoing business restructuring initiatives. Equity-based compensation expense remained fairly consistent, with slight increases toward 2023. Other non-cash adjustments, including equity in earnings of partially-owned affiliates and deferred income taxes, showed significant variability, contributing to irregular adjustments in net income reconciliation.
- Working Capital Components
- Accounts receivable and inventories showed mixed and somewhat volatile trends, with occasional negative changes indicating possible collection challenges or inventory reductions. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities revealed large swings, with significant increases and decreases across years, reflecting possible changes in payment terms or supplier activity. Accrued income taxes also fluctuated considerably, likely reflecting changes in taxable income or tax planning strategies.
- Operating Cash Flow
- Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations showed an upward trend with occasional declines, peaking in 2021 at $2,551 million and declining thereafter but remaining above $2 billion as of 2023. Adjustments to reconcile net income to operating cash flows were inconsistent, reflecting various noncash and working capital changes.
- Investing Activities
- Capital expenditures steadily declined from $1,030 million in 2018 to $539 million in 2023, indicating restrained investment in fixed assets. Proceeds from sales of property and equipment were generally stable but declined in 2023. Acquisition activity varied significantly, with large cash outflows in years such as 2021 and 2023, suggesting active portfolio management. Overall, cash used by investing activities from continuing operations tended to increase, indicating significant investment and acquisition activity.
- Financing Activities
- The company exhibited large repayments of debt in earlier years (2018–2020), shifting towards increased debt proceeds later, particularly in 2022, before a decline in 2023. Stock repurchases were substantial in earlier periods, peaking in 2019 with $5,983 million, and decreased markedly by 2023. Dividend payments to shareholders remained relatively stable with a slight upward trend. Cash used by financing activities was highest in 2019, reflecting repurchases and debt repayments, and reduced substantially after that, though still representing outflows in recent years.
- Cash Position and Liquidity
- The cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash position showed volatility. After a significant increase in 2019, likely related to divestitures or other transactions, it declined gradually between 2020 and 2023, ending at $924 million, down from $2,066 million in 2022. This fluctuation in cash balances aligns with the variations seen in operating, investing, and financing cash flows and indicates dynamic liquidity management amid changing business activities.
- Other Observations
- Exchange rate effects on cash were relatively minor but consistently negative in recent years, reflecting modest currency headwinds. Restructuring reserves showed modest negative balances shifting to positive in 2023, possibly indicating release or utilization of reserves. Changes in assets and liabilities were volatile, contributing to the year-to-year variance in cash flow from operating activities.
- Overall Summary
- The financial data reveals a company undergoing active transformation and portfolio adjustments, as evidenced by restructuring charges, acquisition expenditures, and fluctuating working capital components. Profitability experienced a dip through 2020 followed by recovery. Operating cash flows remained robust despite volatility in working capital. Capital expenditures were moderated in recent years, while financing activities reflected a shift from heavy debt reduction and buybacks toward less aggressive cash outflows. The liquidity position is influenced by the interplay of these factors, demonstrating both challenges and responsive management actions to maintain financial stability.
