Free cash flow takeaway

- Revenue was stable across all periods. Operating cash flow increased, supporting a rise in free cash flow while capital expenditure declined, resulting in a higher free cash flow margin.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, free cash flow and its margin improved as capital expenditure fell. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, free cash flow rose sharply with a substantial margin expansion.
