Free cash flow takeaway
A quick read on the company's cash generation and what it means for investors.
Revenue, operating cash flow, and free cash flow all improved compared to the prior quarter and the same quarter last year. The free cash flow margin strengthened sequentially and year-over-year.
- Operating cash flow exceeded capital expenditure by a wide margin, resulting in a free cash flow margin that was higher than both the prior quarter and the same quarter a year ago. The conversion from revenue to free cash flow was supported by operating cash flow that grew faster than revenue relative to both comparison periods.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue, operating cash flow, and free cash flow were all higher, and the free cash flow margin improved. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue was lower while operating cash flow and free cash flow were higher, leading to a stronger free cash flow margin.
