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.

- Net Income
- Net income exhibits significant fluctuations throughout the periods, with initial low quarters such as March 31, 2017 (430 million USD) followed by a substantial rebound and growth peaking near the end of 2021 and into early 2023, achieving above 4 billion USD. A notable dip occurs during mid-2020 coinciding with global economic disruptions, followed by a strong recovery crescendoing in late 2021.
- Client Incentives
- Client incentives steadily increased from late 2016 through 2022, rising from just over 1 billion USD to peaks exceeding 2.8 billion USD by early 2023. Despite volatility, there is a clear upward trajectory indicating growing customer-related expenses.
- Share-Based Compensation
- This expense steadily grew over the examined timeline, with a marked acceleration from 2019 onward, escalating from around 100 million USD to over 220 million USD by early 2023, suggesting increasing compensation costs possibly aligned with retention or performance strategies.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- The depreciation and amortization costs gradually increased from about 130 million USD in early periods to roughly 230 million USD by 2023, reflecting continuous investments in assets and technology, consistent with a growth-oriented capital expenditure policy.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- Deferred income taxes display volatile movements, with large swings between positive and negative amounts, suggesting complex tax position adjustments over time with no clear long-term trend.
- Operating Activities
- Net cash provided by operating activities shows strong variability, peaking multiple times especially around late 2019 and into 2022 with amounts frequently exceeding 4 billion USD. There was a dip in mid-2020 concurrent with other pandemic related impacts. Overall, operational cash flow remains solid and generally upward trending.
- Investing Activities
- Net cash used in investing activities alternates between outflows and inflows, reflecting tactical investment decisions including acquisitions and purchases of securities. Periods of heavy outflows often align with purchases of investment securities and property while inflow spikes coincide with asset disposals or maturity proceeds.
- Financing Activities
- Net cash used in financing activities is largely negative across the timeline, dominated by substantial share repurchases and consistent dividend payments. Repurchase activity intensified notably between 2019 and 2022, reaching highs over 4 billion USD in single quarters. Debt servicing also influences cash flows with repayments and occasional issuances visible. There is a significant negative spike in financing cash flows during late 2017 and again in 2022-2023, reflecting aggressive capital return policies.
- Accounts and Settlements
- Settlement receivables and payables demonstrate considerable volatility, indicating fluctuating timing or volume of transactional settlements. Accounts receivable and payable show inconsistent changes without a definitive trend, highlighting variability in operational working capital.
- Overall Cash Position Changes
- The net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents is irregular, with wide range swings between positive and negative flows. Noteworthy cash surges occurred mid-2017 and late 2020, while sharp declines are visible during late 2018 and parts of 2021, likely reflecting combined effects of operating, investing, and financing cash flows along with market developments and strategic activities.
- Other Financial Elements
- Adjustments, other assets, liabilities, and various miscellaneous financial items exhibit episodic volatility reflecting diverse internal and external financial activities. Notably, charitable contribution and litigation escrow movements appear sporadic but limited to specific periods, likely related to one-time or non-recurring events.
