Free cash flow takeaway
A quick read on the company's cash generation and what it means for investors.
Revenue increased from both the prior quarter and the same quarter last year. Free cash flow was lower than both comparable periods, resulting in a weakened free cash flow margin.
- Operating cash flow was lower than revenue, and after capital expenditure, free cash flow was a small fraction of revenue, yielding a low single-digit free cash flow margin.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue was higher but operating cash flow and free cash flow were substantially lower, causing a sharp decline in free cash flow margin. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was higher while operating cash flow and free cash flow were lower, leading to a weakened margin.
