- Net Income Trend
- The company experienced fluctuating net income over the years, with a peak in 2022 at 6,046 million USD followed by a decline to 3,219 million USD in 2025. The highest growth occurred between 2020 and 2021, while the subsequent years showed volatility and a notable decrease by 2025.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- This expense remained relatively stable, with slight increases and decreases, peaking in 2024 at 796 million USD. The variations are minimal, indicating consistent capital asset usage and amortization patterns.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred income taxes showed significant fluctuations, with large negative values indicating tax liabilities or adjustments. The largest negative spike occurred in 2022 (-650 million USD), followed by a partial recovery but remaining negative through 2025.
- Stock-Based Compensation
- Stock-based compensation expenses generally increased from 429 million USD in 2020 to a peak of 804 million USD in 2024, before declining in 2025. This suggests rising employee compensation costs tied to stock options, peaking prior to a slight reduction.
- Impairment and Other Expenses
- There was a significant decrease in impairment expenses after 2020, dropping from 398 million USD to much lower values, indicating a reduction in asset impairments or one-time charges over the years.
- Net Foreign Currency Adjustments
- Foreign currency adjustments fluctuated, with negative impacts notably in 2021 and 2023. The adjustments reflect exposure to exchange rate volatility, with occasional positive effects such as in 2025.
- Working Capital Changes
-
- Accounts Receivable
- There was a shift from a large increase in working capital in 2020 to decreases in subsequent years, indicating variable collections and sales activity impact on cash flow.
- Inventories
- Inventory fluctuations were significant, with a large reduction in 2020, a mixed pattern afterward, and a positive inventory increase in 2024 and 2025, suggesting variable inventory management or demand changes.
- Other Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
- Adjustments in prepaid expenses and liabilities revealed inconsistent patterns with large reductions at certain periods, impacting working capital and cash flow variability.
- Cash Flows from Operations
- Operating cash flows increased substantially in early years, peaking in 2024 at 7,429 million USD. However, there was a sharp decline to 3,698 million USD in 2025, mirroring the net income trend.
- Investing Activities
- Cash used in investing activities was significantly negative in early years but turned positive in 2023 and 2024 due to shorter-term investments' maturities and sales outweighing purchases. Capital expenditures showed a declining trend, indicating possibly reduced investment in property, plant, and equipment.
- Financing Activities
-
- Debt and Borrowings
- Borrowings were substantial in 2020 but absent in later years, with notable repayments occurring in 2023 and 2025, reflecting a deleveraging strategy.
- Stock Issuance and Repurchases
- Proceeds from stock options remained fairly stable, while stock repurchases were considerable in all years, especially high in 2023, indicating shareholder return emphasis.
- Dividends
- Dividend payments showed a steady increase annually, demonstrating a commitment to returning capital to shareholders.
- Overall Cash Position
- Cash and equivalents exhibited volatility, with significant increases in 2020 and 2024, and declines in 2022, 2023, and 2025. This demonstrates the impact of operational variability and financing activities on liquidity.
- Summary of Observations
- The company faced fluctuating profitability and cash flow performance throughout the period, with peaks in 2021-2022 and declines toward 2025. Working capital and investing activities contributed to cash flow volatility. Financing strategies shifted from borrowing to debt repayment, accompanied by ongoing stock repurchases and increased dividend payments, suggesting a focus on shareholder returns and capital structure optimization. Currency risks remained a factor, affecting foreign exchange adjustments periodically.
