- Net Income
- The net income demonstrated a generally positive trend over the analyzed period, with some fluctuations. Starting at approximately 2.25 billion USD in 2020, it almost doubled in 2021 to 3.91 billion USD and increased further to about 4.61 billion USD in 2022. A slight decrease occurred in 2023, falling to 4.51 billion USD, followed by a more pronounced decline in 2024 to 3.83 billion USD. However, in 2025, net income surged significantly to approximately 5.36 billion USD, marking the highest point in the time frame.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The NOPAT showed a generally upward trajectory until 2022, beginning at about 2.40 billion USD in 2020 and increasing substantially to approximately 5.63 billion USD by 2022. However, there was a notable reduction in the following years; NOPAT dropped to 4.06 billion USD in 2023 and further declined to 3.26 billion USD in 2024. A strong recovery is observed in 2025, with NOPAT rising sharply to around 6.11 billion USD, the highest value recorded in the examined periods.
- General Observations
- Both net income and NOPAT largely followed similar trends, with growth peaking in 2022, followed by declines in 2023 and 2024, prior to significant recoveries in 2025. The reductions in 2023 and 2024 suggest temporary challenges affecting profitability and operational efficiency. The considerable rebound in 2025 indicates successful measures to restore profitability and operational performance. Overall, the company appears to maintain strong profit-generating capabilities with cyclical variability.
Cash Operating Taxes

- Provision for Income Taxes
- The provision for income taxes exhibits a generally increasing trend from 2020 through 2023, rising from approximately 323 million US dollars in 2020 to nearly 598 million US dollars in 2023. However, in the subsequent year (2024), there is a noticeable decline to about 532 million US dollars, before rising again significantly in 2025 to approximately 600 million US dollars. This pattern suggests some fluctuation in estimated tax liabilities despite an overall upward movement.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes show a consistent and marked upward trajectory over the entire period analyzed. Starting at approximately 361 million US dollars in 2020, cash taxes almost double to around 654 million US dollars in 2021. The upward momentum continues sharply into 2022 with cash taxes reaching about 883 million US dollars. Although there is a downward adjustment in 2023 and 2024—declining to roughly 782 million and 718 million US dollars respectively—the value increases again considerably in 2025 to approximately 954 million US dollars. This indicates variability in actual cash outflows for taxes, with a generally increasing trend over the six-year period.
- Comparative Insights
- When comparing provision for income taxes with cash operating taxes, cash taxes have consistently been higher than provisions throughout all years. The gap between these two metrics widens substantially from 2020 to 2022, implying that actual tax payments in cash increasingly exceeded estimated provisions in these years. Although provisions increase steadily, the fluctuations and higher amounts in cash operating taxes may reflect timing differences, changes in tax planning strategies, or variations in tax payments versus accrual estimates.

4 Addition of deferred revenue.
5 Addition of product warranty reserves.
6 Addition of restructuring liability.
7 Addition of equity equivalents to stockholders’ equity.
8 Removal of accumulated other comprehensive income.
- Total Reported Debt & Leases
- The total debt and leases demonstrate a declining trend over the reported periods. Starting from approximately 5.98 billion in mid-2020, the amount decreases to around 4.76 billion by mid-2025. This suggests a possible strategy of reducing leverage or paying down debt over the years, particularly notable from mid-2024 to mid-2025.
- Stockholders’ Equity
- Stockholders’ equity shows a consistent upward trend across all periods. It grows from about 5.17 billion in 2020 to nearly 9.86 billion in 2025. This significant increase indicates enhanced company value or accumulated earnings, suggesting strengthened financial health and increased net assets over time.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital rises steadily from approximately 11.79 billion in 2020 to around 16.36 billion in 2025, with a minor dip observed between mid-2023 and mid-2024. This overall upward movement reflects continued investment in operations or assets, supporting growth initiatives or expansion efforts.
