Cash Flow Statement
Quarterly Data
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.
The cash flow statement consists of three parts: cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities, and cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities.

The financial statement information reveals fluctuating cash flows over the analyzed period, spanning from March 2021 to December 2025. Net income demonstrates a general upward trend through 2023, peaking in the September and December quarters of 2023, before declining significantly in the first half of 2024 and remaining lower through the end of 2025. Operating cash flow generally follows the trend of net income, with substantial contributions from adjustments to reconcile net income, particularly in the earlier periods. Investing and financing activities exhibit considerable variability, impacting overall cash positions.
- Net Income and Operating Activities
- Net income increased from $312 million in March 2021 to $1,148 million in December 2021, then continued to rise, reaching $1,137 million in September 2023. A substantial decrease is then observed, falling to $800 million in December 2023 and remaining below $1,000 million through December 2025. Net cash provided by operating activities mirrors this trend, increasing from $429 million in March 2021 to $3,022 million in December 2023, before declining to $3,005 million in December 2025. Adjustments to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities consistently contribute positively, with significant amounts in 2021 and 2022, and again in 2023 and 2024.
- Investing Activities
- Investing activities are characterized by significant fluctuations. Large outflows are consistently observed in capital expenditures, APS investments, and exploration data costs capitalized. The period from September 2022 through December 2023 shows particularly large net cash outflows from investing activities, peaking at -$1,270 million in December 2025. Proceeds from the sale of assets, including Liberty shares, ChampionX Drilling Technologies, and APS projects, provide intermittent inflows, but are insufficient to offset the consistent outflows. The acquisition of ChampionX Corporation in September 2023 resulted in a cash inflow of $479 million.
- Financing Activities
- Financing activities demonstrate substantial volatility. Dividends paid consistently represent a cash outflow. Stock repurchase programs contribute to significant cash outflows, particularly in 2023 and 2024. Issuance and repayment of long-term debt also create substantial cash flow variations. Proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt were notably high in June 2024 ($1,504 million) and March 2025 ($1,805 million), while repayments were substantial in December 2022 (-$1,650 million) and December 2023 (-$1,578 million). Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities shows a large net outflow in December 2022 (-$1,844 million) and December 2023 (-$2,009 million).
- Working Capital
- Changes in working capital components exhibit considerable variability. Decreases in receivables are observed in several periods, contributing positively to cash flow, but are offset by increases in other periods. Fluctuations in inventories and other current assets also impact cash flow. Significant changes are noted in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and in the estimated liability for taxes on income, contributing substantially to the adjustments to net income. The net change in assets and liabilities shows a large positive impact in December 2023 ($1,122 million) and December 2025 ($1,212 million).
- Other Notable Items
- Several non-recurring items impact net income and cash flow. Charges and credits, gain on sale of APS project, impairment of equity method investment, amortization of inventory purchase accounting adjustment, and deferred taxes all contribute to adjustments to net income. The impairment of equity method investment and amortization of inventory purchase accounting adjustment are significant contributors to adjustments in 2024 and 2025. A gain on the sale of ADC shares is observed in December 2022 ($223 million) and proceeds from the sale of ChampionX Drilling Technologies business in September 2023 ($286 million).
Overall, the cash flow statement indicates a company experiencing fluctuating profitability and significant investment and financing activities. While operating cash flow generally remains positive, the substantial variations in investing and financing activities create considerable volatility in the overall cash position.
