Free cash flow takeaway
A quick read on the company's cash generation and what it means for investors.
Revenue and free cash flow both improved compared to the prior quarter and the same quarter last year. The free cash flow margin weakened sequentially but strengthened year over year.
- Operating cash flow was higher than capital expenditure, resulting in positive free cash flow. The free cash flow margin, calculated as free cash flow divided by revenue, was lower than the prior quarter but higher than the same quarter last year.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was higher but operating cash flow and free cash flow were lower, leading to a weakened free cash flow margin. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, revenue, operating cash flow, capital expenditure, free cash flow, and free cash flow margin were all higher.
