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 information reveals significant fluctuations in cash flow patterns over the observed period, spanning from March 2021 to December 2025. Net income demonstrates a volatile trajectory, beginning with substantial losses in the initial periods, transitioning to profitability in late 2021, and then exhibiting considerable variability with peaks in 2023 and 2024. Discontinued operations contribute to this volatility, with both income and loss entries throughout the period, notably impacting overall net income.
- Operating Activities
- Cash generated from operating activities shows a marked improvement starting in late 2021, peaking in December 2022 and remaining robust through 2023 and 2024. However, a decline is observed in the final periods. Adjustments to reconcile net income to cash flow from operations are substantial and fluctuate significantly, driven by changes in working capital components. Specifically, receivables, inventories, and contract assets exhibit considerable movement, impacting cash flow. Changes in operating working capital demonstrate a large increase in cash in 2021 and 2022, followed by a decrease in 2023 and 2024.
- Investing Activities
- Investing activities are characterized by significant volatility, largely influenced by sales of retained ownership interests and net payments for principal business purchases. A substantial inflow from sales of retained ownership interests is evident in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Additions to property, plant, and equipment remain relatively consistent, while dispositions fluctuate. Discontinued operations also contribute to the variability in investing cash flows.
- Financing Activities
- Financing activities demonstrate a consistent pattern of cash outflow, primarily driven by repayments of debt and purchases of common stock. Repayments of debt, particularly those with maturities longer than 90 days, represent a major cash drain. Dividend payments also contribute to the outflow. A significant outflow is observed in 2021 related to debt extinguishment costs. Redemption of preferred stock also impacts cash flow in certain periods. Discontinued operations contribute to financing cash flows, though with varying impact.
Pension plan costs and contributions consistently represent cash outflows, with principal pension plan costs (benefit) generally exceeding employer contributions. Other postretirement benefit plans also contribute to ongoing cash outflows. Provision for income taxes fluctuates, sometimes resulting in a cash outflow and other times a benefit. Currency exchange rate changes have a moderate impact on cash position, with both positive and negative effects observed throughout the period.
Overall, the period demonstrates a complex cash flow profile. While operating activities have generally improved, significant cash outflows from financing and, at times, investing activities have shaped the overall cash position. The substantial fluctuations in net income, coupled with the variability in working capital and investment/financing decisions, contribute to the dynamic cash flow patterns observed.
