Working Capital Impact
The filing indicates that the change in net cash used in operating activities compared to the year-ago quarter primarily reflects less favorable changes in working capital. This suggests working capital movements were the strongest observable driver of the cash flow decline.
Less favorable working capital changes contributed to the negative operating cash flow and free cash flow this quarter.
