When looking at Costco’s (COST) current asset balance merchandise inventory, their Merchandise Inventory account reported a decrease of $1.256B compared to the prior year, implying that Costco did not purchase as many inventories. In Costco’s Statement of Cash Flows, they reported an increase of $1.228B for the same account. Looking at the COST’s liability side of the balance sheet, Costco reported a $365M decrease in accounts payable. This was reflected in COST’s Statement of Cash flows with a $382M decrease for Accounts payable demonstrating a slight differentiation. For the other liability line items, Costco reported an increase of $103M in the Accrued Salaries account, a $239M increase in Accrued Membership Awards, and a $643M increase in Other Current Liabilities. However, Costco’s Statement of Cash Flows only reports one line item that nets other assets and liabilities at $172M. When the three liability accounts mentioned above are netted, they add up to $707M demonstrating a deviation. With this being said, Costco accumulated 6.745B in FCF, which is cash left over after Costco paid for its operating expenses and capital expenditures. Therefore, Costco generates enough cash to meet its operating cash needs. If management needed to increase operating cash flows, they would need to reduce their merchandise inventory, accounts receivable, or accounts payable. Merchandise inventory is their highest expense since its cash is tied to inventory not selling. Decreasing accounts receivable would reduce the amount of cash Costco owes to its customers. Finally, reducing accounts payable would decrease the amount of cash owed to pay its suppliers. Although Costco is a well-known company, there is always the possibility that Costco may default in the future, which could lead to a loss for the supplier. At this point in time,
however, Costco shows no signs of a decline.
