The financial data reveals several notable trends across the various quarters under review.

Net Income
Net income demonstrated fluctuations with peaks notably in December 2017 (1,894 million USD) and June 2018 (1,654 million USD), while troughs occurred in December 2018 (692 million USD). Generally, the pattern shows variability with some growth towards early 2017 and late 2018 before a decline at the end of 2018 and in the first half of 2019.
Depreciation and Amortization
This expense maintained steady growth over the period, rising gradually from 256 million USD in early 2014 to over 320 million USD by mid-2019, indicating ongoing investments in fixed assets or capitalized expenses.
Share-Based Compensation and Charges Related to Repayment of Debt
Share-based compensation appeared starting in 2016 and showed some variability without a clear upward or downward trend. Charges related to repayment of debt were mostly absent except for a significant charge (48 million USD) in late 2016.
Inventory Valuation Adjustments
Significant positive and negative adjustments were noted, with a high positive figure of 715 million USD in December 2014 followed by variability and missing data after 2016, denoting fluctuating inventory cost assessments or write-downs.
Equity Investments and Related Items
Equity income was consistently negative, indicating losses or expenses in equity investments throughout the periods, while distributions from these investments were irregular, peaking notably at 230 million USD in June 2016 and 192 million USD in June 2018.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred taxes exhibited significant volatility, including a substantial negative adjustment (-804 million USD) in December 2017, indicating a large tax-related event or revaluation.
Working Capital Components (Accounts Receivable, Inventories, Accounts Payable)
Accounts receivable and inventory balances showed considerable volatility with no clear directional trend, indicating fluctuating operational cycles or revenue recognition timings. Accounts payable also fluctuated significantly, reflecting changes in vendor payment practices or purchasing volumes.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Operating cash flow showed strong performance with several peaks, including 2,016 million USD in December 2014 and consistent increases in 2016 and 2017, despite some variability during 2018 and a sharp decrease during the first quarter of 2019 (657 million USD).
Capital Expenditures
Expenditures for property, plant, and equipment remained high and generally increased over time, reaching a peak of 698 million USD in December 2018, indicating ongoing capital investment despite fluctuations in cash generated from operations.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was predominantly negative, reflecting continuous investment outflows. A notable exception occurred in the third quarter of 2015 where a positive 67 million USD was recorded, possibly from divestitures or maturities. The acquisition of A. Schulman in late 2018 for 1,776 million USD marked a significant investment outflow.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities showed a general trend of high outflows driven primarily by substantial repurchases of company shares, which peaked in early and mid-2014. Dividends paid were relatively stable with slight increases over time. Issuance and repayments of debt and commercial paper fluctuated, reflecting active management of capital structure.
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes and Overall Cash Position
The impact of exchange rate changes on cash was generally minor though occasionally positive or negative. The overall change in cash and cash equivalents evidenced significant fluctuation with large declines in early periods (up to -1,748 million USD in early 2014) but some recovery and positive increases such as in early 2018 and mid-2019, indicating variability in liquidity management.

In summary, the data portrays a company with significant operational cash generation capability, balanced by substantial and ongoing capital expenditures and active financial management including share repurchases and debt issuance and repayments. Earnings variability, fluctuating working capital components, and strategic investments like the A. Schulman acquisition are key features shaping the financial dynamics over the period.
