That's the investopedia definition. Here's an alternate definition (and you'd adjust based on a given industry or company) Start with Net income
+ expenses not using cash (such as depreciation and amortization)
- revenues not providing cash (such as recognition of deferred revenues)
- increase in working capital or + decrease in working capital
- increase in required cash balances or + decrease in required cash balances
+ interest paid in cash (recall that all firms must disclose this number)
- interest tax shield (the tax “savings” from financing charges due to the tax deductibility of interest)
- long term capital investment (including, but not limited to capital expenditures or “CAPEX”)
+ cash from sales of assets (including sales of PPE) = Free Cash Flows to the Unlevered Firm You'd continue on with more calculations to get to free cash flows to common equity or whatever you're interested in. |
