Cash Flow Issues
• CFO trends, especially related to net income;
CFO is expected to be larger than net income
(e.g., depreciation increases CFO) & should
parallel net income over time
• The Dow 30 had an average CFO of $9.9
billion, 47% above net income
• Potential problem where net income is
positive and CFO is negative—this is a possible
indicator of manipulation (this was one of the
signals at Enron of problems)
Free Cash Flows (FCF)
• Free cash flows is a measure of cash available for
discretionary uses (that is; cash provided by
operations less expenditures that are considered
required):
• According to the book, the calculation is:
CFO-Capital Expenditures-Cash dividends
(in other words, cash available after fixed asset
investments and maintaining dividends.)
• Alternative definitions: FCF1 = CFO – Capital
Expenditures; FCF2 = CFO – CFI
• Cash flows can highlight certain problems such as
lagging cash collections
Free Cash Flows
• Amount of discretionary cash flow a company
has for purchasing additional investments,
retiring its debt, purchasing treasury stock, or
adding to its liquidity.
Current Cash Debt Coverage Ratio
Cash From Operations
Average Current Liabilities
Ratio indicates whether the company can pay
off its current liabilities from its operations. A
ratio near 1:1 is good.
A Liquidity measure (similar to operating cash
flow).
Cash Debt Coverage Ratio
Cash From Operations
Average Total Liabilities
• Ratio indicates a company’s ability to repay its
liabilities from net cash provided by operating
activities, without having to liquidate the assets
employed in its operations.
• A solvency (leverage) measure.
