Free cash flow takeaway
A quick read on the company's cash generation and what it means for investors.

- Operating cash flow as a proportion of revenue was lower than the prior quarter but higher than the year-ago quarter. After deducting capital expenditure, free cash flow followed a similar pattern, with the margin narrowing from the prior quarter and widening from the same quarter last year.
- Compared to the prior quarter, revenue was higher but operating cash flow and free cash flow were lower, leading to a weakened margin. Versus the same quarter last year, all metrics were higher and the margin improved.
