Watch

Revenue and Operating Cash Flow Trend

Revenue declined from the prior quarter but grew from a year ago, while operating cash flow followed a similar pattern. The net income contribution to operating cash flow was adjusted by non-cash items including unrealized losses on securities and stock-based compensation.

The combined movement in revenue and operating cash flow was the most notable change in the period, directly influencing free cash flow and margin.

What the cash flow says

How to interpret the company's free cash flow beyond the headline number.

Operating cash flow substantially exceeded capital expenditure, resulting in free cash flow that was slightly lower than operating cash flow. The free cash flow margin reflects the ratio of free cash flow to revenue.

Compared with the immediately preceding quarter, revenue, operating cash flow, capital expenditure, and free cash flow were all lower, and the margin weakened. Versus the same quarter one year earlier, revenue and operating cash flow were higher, capital expenditure was lower, free cash flow was stable, and the margin weakened.

Monitor the decrease in cash from working capital, which was driven by a reduction in accrued expenses and other liabilities, partially offset by higher accrued insurance reserves.
