Operating Cash Flow was high in **Q4 2024** because of a combination of strong underlying profitability and favorable non‐cash adjustments. Specifically, **net income increased substantially**—helped by a boost in revenue from higher da Vinci system placements and improved operating margins—which drove the higher cash inflows. Additionally, **non-cash expenses like increased share‐based compensation and higher depreciation and loss on disposal of property, plant, and equipment** further bolstered the cash flow. Changes in working capital, such as more favorable adjustments in inventory, accounts receivable, and accrued compensation, also contributed to the significant rise in operating cash flow in that period.  **[0001035267-25-000017_isrg-20241231.htm:172]** **[0001035267-25-000017_isrg-20241231.htm:151]** **[0001035267-25-000017_isrg-20241231.htm:152]** 

Why was Operating Cash Flow so high in Q4 2024?

The **Operating Cash Flow** in **Q1 2024** was lower because the **net cash provided by operating activities** decreased from **$371.4 million** in Q1 2023 to **$265.4 million** in Q1 2024. This decrease was primarily due to **non-cash charges**—including share-based compensation of **$153 million** and depreciation expenses and losses on property, plant, and equipment totaling **$104 million**—which were part of the **net income** of **$547 million**. Additionally, there were significant **changes in operating assets and liabilities**, with **$540 million** in cash being used in these areas, driven by a decrease in accrued compensation and employee benefits and an increase in inventory to support business growth and mitigate supply chain risks.  **[0001035267-24-000137_isrg-20240331.htm:60]** **[0001035267-24-000137_isrg-20240331.htm:3]** 

Why was Operating Cash Flow lower in Q1 2024?

The significant increase in operating cash flow in FY 2024 was driven by several factors. **Higher net income**—rising from **$1,817.3 million in FY 2023** to **$2,337.5 million in FY 2024**—was a key contributor. Additionally, **increased non-cash charges**, including higher **share-based compensation** and **depreciation expenses**, boosted the cash flow. Changes in working capital, such as adjustments in **inventory**, **accounts receivable**, **prepaid and other assets**, and **other liabilities**, also played a role. Finally, **improved revenue performance** and operating efficiency reinforced this growth in operating cash flow.  **[0001035267-25-000017_isrg-20241231.htm:172]** **[0001035267-25-000017_isrg-20241231.htm:152]** **[0001035267-25-000017_isrg-20241231.htm:140]** 

What drove the significant increase in Operating Cash Flow in FY 2024?

Capital expenditures increased in Q2 2024 because the company significantly ramped up its investments to expand manufacturing and commercial capabilities. This included major spending on new facility construction, vertical integration of critical technologies, and capacity expansion—particularly to support the da Vinci 5 system during a period of planned hardware and software updates.  **[0001035267-24-000207_isrg-20240630.htm:71]** **[ISRG_3393436_4]** 

Why did capital expenditures increase in Q2 2024?

The sharp cash decline in Q3 2024 was primarily driven by a **significant outflow from investing activities**—specifically, increased capital expenditures and investments resulted in a large cash outflow that outweighed the stable operating cash generation and improved financing activities. Additionally, a **negative impact from exchange rate fluctuations** further contributed to the decrease.  **[0001035267-24-000247_isrg-20240930.htm:69]**

The decline in cash and cash equivalents in Q1 2022 was primarily driven by several factors. **Taxes paid related to equity awards** reduced the cash balance, and the company also executed **share repurchases**—buying 398,000 shares at an average price of **$268** per share, which cost **$107 million**.  **[ISRG_297146_5]**  Additionally, **capital expenditures** of **$95 million** for infrastructure investments contributed to the decrease, and **unrealized losses on investments** further impacted the balance. These reductions were somewhat offset by **$223 million** generated from operating activities, but overall, these actions led to a notably lower cash position in Q1 2022.  **[0001035267-22-000085_isrg-20220331.htm:58]** **[ISRG_297146_4]** 

Why was Cash and cash equivalents so low in Q1 2022?

The significant decline in ISRG’s long-term investments in Q4 2022 was driven primarily by **large-scale share repurchases**—with about **$2.6 billion** used for this purpose—which consumed a substantial portion of available cash and investments. In addition, the company made sizeable **capital expenditures** to enhance its manufacturing capabilities and global supply chain, and it also incurred **unrealized losses on interest-bearing debt securities classified as available-for-sale**. These factors collectively led to the marked reduction in long-term investments during the period.  **[0001035267-23-000019_isrg-20221231.htm:163]** **[0001035267-23-000083_isrg-20230310.htm:44]** **[0001035267-23-000019_isrg-20221231.htm:148]** **[ISRG_3141193_9]** 

What drove the significant decline in Long-term investments in Q4 2022?

Intuitive Surgical’s decrease in total assets in Q4 2022 was driven by several factors. The most significant contributor was a sharp reduction in **long-term investments**, which fell from **$4,415.5 million** in 2021 to **$2,623.6 million** in 2022—a drop of **$1,791.9 million**. This decrease was compounded by **share repurchases** amounting to **$2.6 billion** that reduced cash and investments. Additionally, while there was an increase in **property, plant, and equipment** (from **$1,876.4 million to $2,374.2 million**) and **inventory** (from **$587.1 million to $893.2 million**), the overall effect of these changes, together with a net decline in liquid assets from mixed movements in cash and short-term investments, contributed to the overall reduction in total assets.  **[0001035267-23-000019_isrg-20221231.htm:163]** **[0001035267-23-000083_isrg-20230310.htm:44]** **[ISRG_3141193_5]** 

What contributed to the decrease in Total assets in Q4 2022?

The **retained earnings** dropped significantly in Q4 2022 primarily because of the **repurchase and retirement of common stock** amounting to **$2,607.4 million** during 2022, which more than offset the positive impact of the **net income of $1,322.3 million** for the year.  **[0001035267-23-000083_isrg-20230310.htm:44]** **[0001035267-23-000019_isrg-20221231.htm:166]** 

Why did Retained earnings drop significantly in Q4 2022?

The documents only indicate that **Intuitive Surgical, Inc.'s total liabilities increased by $257.9 million from the end of 2021 to Q4 2022**, resulting in liabilities of **$1,861.4 million** by Q4 2022.  **[0001035267-23-000019_isrg-20221231.htm:163]**  **However, they do not provide specific factors or reasons for this significant increase**.  **[0001035267-23-000019_isrg-20221231.htm:163]**
