Free cash flow is a non-GAAP metric. Amazon provides three different free cash flow calculations (depending on how leases are accounted for). In 2015-2017 the corresponding figures are $26.4bn (7.5+10.5+8.4), $14.8bn (4.9+6.5+3.4) and $5.8bn (2.6+4.7-1.5). |

The three different cash flow calculations in 2012-2015 were $4.4bn (0.4+2+2), $1.7bn (-0.1+1.3+0.5) and -$2.4bn (-0.4+0.2-2.2).
As forecasted, the divergence of these metrics has continued.
