 Free cash flow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The firm's operating cash flow (cash flow from operations) (net cash provided by operating activities) for the same period was $3.670 billion, and the firm expended $329 million on "capital expenditures" and $636 million on the "purchase of assets held in master lease facilities".
Free cash flow is a measure of the cash produced by the firm in a given period on behalf of equity holders.
Free cash flow is significant because it represents the cash that is available for distribution to the company's shareholders or bondholders, if positive, or the cash that the shareholders or bondholders have to inject to finance the business, otherwise.
