The sharp drop of **$348 million** in cash and equivalents during Q1 2025 was primarily due to several net cash flow factors. **Operating activities** generated **$3,244 million** in net cash driven by strong net income and adjustments for non-cash items.  **[0000723125-24-000046_a2025q1ex991-pressrelease.htm:2]** **[0000723125-24-000047_mu-20241128.htm:9]**  However, this was mostly offset by **investing activities**, which used **$3,148 million** mainly for property, plant, and equipment expenditures, and by **financing activities** that used **$422 million** for dividend payments and debt repayments.  **[0000723125-24-000047_mu-20241128.htm:32]** **[0000723125-24-000047_mu-20241128.htm:9]**  Additionally, there was a **$29 million** negative impact from currency exchange rate changes, further contributing to the decline.  **[0000723125-24-000047_mu-20241128.htm:32]** **[0000723125-24-000047_mu-20241128.htm:9]** 

Why did Cash and equivalents drop so sharply in Q1 2025?

The jump in total assets was driven by **substantial receivables growth** (increasing from **$2,443 million** to **$6,615 million**), **increased capital investments in property, plant, and equipment** (rising from **$37,928 million** to **$39,749 million** due to **$8.1 billion** in capital expenditures), a **slight adjustment to inventories** (from **$8,387 million** to **$8,875 million**), and an overall **robust revenue growth of 93% YoY** in Q4 2024.  **[0000723125-24-000027_mu-20240829.htm:92]** **[0000723125-24-000023_a2024q4ex991-pressrelease.htm:0]** **[MU_3402083_5]** 

What drove the jump in Total assets in Q4 2024?

The documents do not provide specific reasons for the increase in **current debt** to **$533 million** in Q1 2025. Although it is noted that the current debt rose from **$431 million** as of August 29, 2024, to **$533 million** as of November 28, 2024, no detailed explanation for this change is provided.  **[0000723125-24-000046_a2025q1ex991-pressrelease.htm:2]** **[0000723125-24-000047_mu-20241128.htm:8]** 

What caused the increase in Current debt in Q1 2025?

Other current assets nearly doubled in Q2 2024 because the income tax benefit recorded during that period significantly increased these assets, rising from **$820 million as of August 31, 2023** to **$1,690 million as of February 29, 2024**.  **[0000723125-24-000007_mu-20240229.htm:8]** **[0000723125-24-000007_mu-20240229.htm:39]**
