Free cash flow takeaway
A quick read on the company's cash generation and what it means for investors.
Operating cash flow and revenue both increased versus the prior quarter and the year-ago quarter. Free cash flow was lower than the year-ago quarter but improved versus the prior quarter, which lacked capital expenditure data.
- Revenue grew relative to the prior quarter, and operating cash flow rose faster, resulting in positive free cash flow after capital expenditure. The free cash flow margin improved from the prior quarter but weakened compared to the same quarter one year earlier.
- Compared to the immediately preceding quarter, revenue and operating cash flow were higher, and free cash flow turned positive from missing data. Compared to the same quarter one year earlier, revenue and operating cash flow were stable, while free cash flow and free cash flow margin were lower.
