Recent events shaping cash flow

Operating cash flow recovery
Operating cash flow moved from a significant negative in the prior quarter to a positive figure this quarter. This shift was the dominant factor behind the improvement in free cash flow.
The quarter's positive free cash flow relies entirely on this operating cash flow recovery; without it, capital expenditure would have consumed more cash.
