Long-term Activity Ratios (Summary)
Cytokinetics Inc., long-term (investment) activity ratios (quarterly data)
Based on: 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2023-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2022-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2022-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2021-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2021-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2020-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2020-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2019-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2019-03-31), 10-K (reporting date: 2018-12-31), 10-Q (reporting date: 2018-09-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2018-06-30), 10-Q (reporting date: 2018-03-31).
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio first appears in the data starting from December 31, 2018, with a value of 9.83 and shows an initial increasing trend, peaking at 12.09 on September 30, 2019. Afterward, it exhibits a marked decline, falling steadily to a low of 0.1 by September 30, 2023. This downward trend indicates a gradual reduction in the efficiency with which the company is generating sales from its net fixed assets over the more recent periods.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover (Including Operating Lease, Right-of-Use Asset)
- This ratio follows a similar pattern to the net fixed asset turnover, starting at 9.83 on December 31, 2018, and peaking at 12.09 on September 30, 2019. However, the subsequent decline is more pronounced, reaching very low levels of 0.05 by September 30, 2023. The inclusion of operating lease assets results in a generally lower turnover ratio in recent periods, suggesting that these leased assets may not be contributing proportionately to revenue generation, or adjustments under accounting standards have impacted the ratio.
- Total Asset Turnover
- The total asset turnover ratio shows modest values throughout the observed periods. Initially, it hovers around 0.15–0.18 between December 31, 2018, and September 30, 2019, before decreasing to approximately 0.08–0.11 through 2020 and early 2021. There is a notable dip to 0.03 at December 31, 2021, followed by an increase up to 0.2 at September 30, 2022. In the most recent data points, the ratio declines sharply to as low as 0.01. Overall, these fluctuations indicate variable efficiency in the use of total assets to generate revenue, with a concerning downturn in the latest quarters.
- Equity Turnover
- Equity turnover data is sparse and irregular. Notably, a spike to 10.29 occurs at June 30, 2018, after an initial value of 1.21 at December 31, 2018. Subsequent values are missing until moderate values reappear from September 30, 2020, through December 31, 2021, with an increasing trend peaking at 3.51 before declining again. The lack of continuous data restricts comprehensive trend analysis, but the large spikes suggest episodic variations in how efficiently equity is being utilized to generate sales.

- Revenue Trends
- The revenue figures exhibit significant volatility throughout the observed quarters. From March 2018 to September 2018, there is a sharp increase from 5,268 thousand USD to 10,641 thousand USD, followed by a decline toward December 2018. The revenues continue a downward trend in 2019 with some fluctuations, reaching values as low as 3,825 thousand USD in March 2020. There is an anomalous peak in September 2020 amounting to 41,688 thousand USD, which is notably higher than all other quarters. Post that spike, revenues fall back and fluctuate at relatively lower levels with occasional increases, such as in December 2021 and June 2022, but the overall trend remains unstable and generally lower than early period levels.
- Property and Equipment, Net
- The net value of property and equipment shows a steady and continuous increase over the periods, starting at 3,156 thousand USD in March 2018 and reaching up to 80,302 thousand USD by December 2022. After this peak, a slight contraction occurs in subsequent quarters through September 2023, settling around 75,614 thousand USD. This indicates substantial investment or capital expenditure activities over time, resulting in significant asset base growth with minor recent depreciation or disposals.
- Net Fixed Asset Turnover
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio shows a declining trend from September 2018, starting at 9.83, and decreasing sharply to values below 1.0 by December 2021 and onward, hitting as low as 0.1 in September 2023. This decline suggests decreasing efficiency in utilizing fixed assets to generate revenue, which aligns with the observed disproportional growth in property and equipment compared to relatively stagnant or declining revenues. Notably, the ratio had its highest values in the earlier periods where revenues were stronger relative to asset size.
- Overall Observations
- The company’s capital assets expanded significantly over the timeline, reflecting increased investments in fixed assets. Simultaneously, revenues did not demonstrate proportional growth and showed high variability, including an extraordinary spike in one quarter that deviates from the otherwise irregular pattern. The decreasing net fixed asset turnover indicates declining operational efficiency in asset utilization, which may be a point of concern for management and stakeholders.

- Revenues
- The revenue figures demonstrate significant volatility over the periods analyzed. Initially, revenues increased from approximately $5.3 million in March 2018 to over $10.6 million by September 2018, followed by a declining trend through March 2020, reaching a low near $3.8 million. A notable anomaly appears in September 2020, when revenue spikes sharply to about $41.7 million, then sharply drops again in subsequent quarters. Following this spike, revenue continues to fluctuate, with periods of both increases and decreases, culminating in relatively low values by September 2023, around $378 thousand.
- Property and equipment, net (including operating lease, right-of-use asset)
- This asset category shows a consistent upward trend over time, increasing steadily from approximately $3.2 million in March 2018 to a peak nearing $163.2 million in December 2022. After that, there is a slight decrease towards $155.5 million by September 2023. The consistent increase in these net assets suggests ongoing investments or capitalization of property and equipment, potentially linked to leasing arrangements or rights-of-use accounted for as assets.
- Net fixed asset turnover (including operating lease, right-of-use asset)
- The net fixed asset turnover ratio reveals declining efficiency in using fixed assets to generate revenues. In late 2018, the ratio was relatively high, around 9.83 to 12.09, indicating strong asset utilization. However, this ratio precipitously declines in subsequent periods, falling below 1 by mid-2020 and continuing a downward trajectory to very low levels (0.05 to 0.61) by 2023. This sharp decline signals that, despite increased investment in fixed assets, revenue generation relative to these assets has weakened substantially over time.
- Overall
- The data reflects a company investing heavily in property and equipment assets, with a declining ability to generate revenue from these assets as shown by the falling turnover ratio. Revenue exhibits high variability with sudden spikes, which may suggest irregular, non-recurring income or one-time events impacting sales figures. The divergence between asset growth and revenue performance implies challenges in converting asset investments into consistent revenue gains during the analyzed timeframe.

- Revenues
- The revenue figures exhibit significant volatility over the reported quarters. Initially, revenues rose from 5,268 thousand US dollars in March 2018 to peak at 10,641 thousand US dollars by September 2018. However, following this peak, revenues experienced a downward trend through 2019, declining to 5,212 thousand US dollars by December 2019. The trend continued with fluctuations in the subsequent years, including a sharp and unusual spike to 41,688 thousand US dollars in September 2020 and 55,600 thousand US dollars in December 2021. More recently, revenues have shown smaller values and decreased again, with values such as 1,148 thousand US dollars in March 2022 and 378 thousand US dollars in September 2023. These erratic changes suggest periods of extraordinary income, possibly non-recurring items or one-time events, rather than stable operational performance.
- Total Assets
- Total assets demonstrate a general upward trend from the beginning of the period, starting at 279,926 thousand US dollars in March 2018, with some fluctuations and a notable jump from 289,814 thousand in December 2019 to 474,112 thousand in September 2020. Assets continued to increase, reaching a peak of 1,075,961 thousand US dollars in December 2022. However, there is a slight decline observed thereafter, with total assets decreasing to 740,614 thousand US dollars by September 2023. Overall, total assets have increased substantially over the analysis period, indicating either significant capital investment, acquisitions, or other asset growth activities.
- Total Asset Turnover
- The total asset turnover ratios, reflecting revenue generated per unit of assets, have been low and generally stable at single-digit percentages throughout the reported quarters. After an initial ratio of 0.15 in September 2018, the turnover hovered around 0.1 or below, with a notable dip to as low as 0.01 in the most recent quarters. This suggests a diminishing efficiency in generating revenues from assets, particularly in the latest periods. The decline in turnover, especially amid rising total assets, signals potential underutilization of assets or reduced operational revenue generation efficiency.
- Overall Analysis
- The financial data reflect a company exhibiting fluctuating revenue patterns accompanied by substantial growth in total assets over the analyzed timeframe. The irregular spikes in revenues and the low, declining asset turnover ratios imply challenges in maintaining consistent operational performance and efficiency. The substantial asset base contrasted with relatively low revenue generation efficiency highlights areas that may require strategic attention to improve asset utilization and stabilize revenue streams.

The quarterly financial data show significant volatility and several notable trends over the observed periods.
- Revenues
- Revenues exhibit considerable fluctuations across quarters, with a peak occurring in the quarter ending September 2020 at 41,688 thousand US dollars, followed by a sharp decline in the next quarter. Prior to this peak, revenues generally trended between approximately 3,800 and 10,600 thousand US dollars. After the peak, revenues declined again and continued to fluctuate at lower levels, mostly below 7,000 thousand US dollars, with some of the lowest values observed in the quarters ending June 2023 and September 2023.
- Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)
- Stockholders’ equity demonstrates a downward trend from a positive 99,599 thousand US dollars in March 2018 to increasingly negative values in subsequent years. There is a notable transition from positive equity to negative equity starting around June 2019, worsening significantly by March 2023. Despite an intermittent large positive value recorded in September 2020 and March 2021, the overall trajectory shows increasing deficits toward the end of the data series, culminating in a deficit of -438,801 thousand US dollars as of September 2023.
- Equity Turnover
- Equity turnover ratios are sporadically reported but indicate substantial variability when recorded. The ratio ranged from a low of 0.09 to a high of 10.29, without a consistent trend over time. These ratios, available only for select periods, reveal episodic changes in how effectively equity is generating revenue, but the limited data points restrict definitive conclusions on long-term efficiency changes.
Overall, the data reveal considerable instability in revenues and a declining equity position over the several-year span, suggesting financial challenges and potentially increased risk. The sporadic nature of equity turnover data limits detailed assessment of operational efficiency related to equity use.
