- Net Income
- The net income demonstrates volatility over the periods, peaking at 1,919 million US$ in January 2020, followed by a significant dip to 639 million US$ in April 2020, likely influenced by external disruptions. Subsequently, net income exhibits fluctuations with intermittent rebounds, indicating variable profitability. Recent quarters show moderate improvement but still demonstrate inconsistency, with figures such as 1,381 million US$ in October 2025.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- Depreciation and amortization expenses remain relatively stable throughout the periods, ranging mostly between 650 and 680 million US$. A noticeable increase occurs towards the end, rising to 840 million US$ in October 2025, which may reflect increased asset base or changes in asset useful lives.
- Provision for Credit Losses
- This item fluctuates moderately, generally staying below 40 million US$, with occasional spikes (e.g., 51 million US$ in January 2025), indicating low but variable credit risk exposure.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred income taxes exhibit considerable volatility with alternating positive and negative values, suggesting fluctuating timing differences and potential tax strategy adjustments. Sharp negative outliers in early periods indicate tax charge impacts, while some later positive values may denote tax benefits or adjustments.
- Stock-based Compensation
- Stock-based compensation expenses show a cyclic pattern with recurring spikes approximately every other quarter, reaching as high as 182 million US$. This variability could be linked to timing of equity awards or vesting schedules.
- Loss on Debt Extinguishment
- Recorded only in early periods with a large loss of 406 million US$ initially and 308 million US$ later, this item subsequently disappears, indicating one-time charges related to refinancing or debt restructuring events.
- Asset Impairment and Inventory Write-downs
- Significant impairment is noted in April 2021 (515 million US$) and again in January 2025 (371 million US$), suggesting periods of asset value reassessment and inventory adjustments, potentially reflecting shifts in market conditions or operational challenges.
- Other, Net
- This line is volatile, including both gains and losses, with notable positive values contributing to other income or gains in some quarters (e.g., 308 million US$ in October 2023), suggesting episodic non-operating items influencing net results.
- Working Capital Components (Accounts Receivable, Inventories, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities, Other Operating Assets and Liabilities)
- These balance sheet items display significant swings, implying active management of working capital. Accounts receivable and inventories experience large fluctuations, with some quarters showing sharp increases or decreases, while accounts payable and accrued liabilities alternate between positive and negative movements, indicating fluctuating payment behaviors. The net change in operating assets and liabilities is consistently volatile with large negative swings in some quarters (e.g., -1,147 million US$ in October 2025), signaling dynamic operational cash flow conditions.
- Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
- Operating cash flow remains positive across all periods, though with pronounced fluctuations. Peaks are observed in January 2020, October 2023, and April 2024, each exceeding 2,400 million US$, while troughs indicate slower cash generation during some quarters. Overall, the company maintains strong operating cash generation capability despite income variability.
- Investing Activities
- Cash flow from investing activities is generally negative, consistent with ongoing capital expenditures, acquisitions, and investment purchases. Purchases of investments significantly exceed sales and maturities in many periods, reflecting a net deployment of resources. Acquisitions show sporadic but notable cash outflows, including a significant amount in July 2022 (-1,191 million US$). Capital expenditure remains substantial and consistent, indicating continuous investment in property, plant, and equipment.
- Financing Activities
- Financing cash flows are variable, including debt issuance and repayments, dividend payments, and share repurchases. Debt issuance spikes early and appears linked to refinancing activities, counterbalanced by repayments. Share repurchases occur regularly, with large volumes in several quarters (e.g., -1,628 million US$ in October 2023), consistent with ongoing capital return strategies. Dividend payments are stable and gradually increasing, supporting shareholder returns.
- Effect of Exchange Rate Changes and Net Change in Cash
- Foreign exchange effects on cash balances add additional variability, occasionally positive or negative, reflecting currency translation impacts. Net changes in cash and equivalents reflect combined cash flow outcomes, with frequent positive periods tempered by some quarters of cash reduction, demonstrating overall manageable liquidity fluctuations.
