Cash flow statement



A cash flow statement presents information
about the cash flows associated with the
company’s main operations and those
associated with its investing and financing
activities of the period
A cash flow statement functions in
conjunction with both the income statement
(performance dimension) and the balance
sheet (financial position)

Usefulness of cash flow information



Ability to generate adequate cash flows
is a significant performance dimension
Cash flow information clarifies the
dynamics of short-term liquidity and
long-term solvency
Cash flow information is an essential
input for economic decision models

Cash flow versus profit

Cash flow and profit are different economic
phenomena


But linked through the mechanisms of accrual
accounting!
Cash flows are factual details of incoming and
outgoing flows of cash, while the balance sheet
and income statement emanate from
professional judgement and are not a direct
projection of objective economic data

Liquidity/solvency and cash flows

Liquidity
-

Solvency
-

Relates to “nearness to cash” of the structure of assets
Determined by capacity to convert current assets into cash
Relates to future availability of cash in order to settle financial
liabilities on due date
Determined by timing and uncertainty of expected future cash
payments and cash receipts
Liquidity and solvency ratios are determined on
static financial position data, while cash flows
reflect changes in financial position

A cash flow statement reflects both “profit related” and
“non-profit related” activities (investing and financing) with
an impact on available cash over the period covered in the
income statement

From which sources did the company raise cash last
year? How was this cash used?
Were the normal operating activities capable of
satisfying its need for cash during the year?
If not, is the shortage of cash compensated by new
borrowings, issuing new share capital or by selling
fixed assets?
Is a surplus of cash used for repayment of debt, for
investments or for distribution of dividends?
Why has the balance of cash available decreased,
knowing that the company’s operations have been
profitable?

Cash flows through the company
continuously in a series of short-term and
long-term conversion cycles
The ST - cash conversion cycle (operating
cycle) relates to the main business
operations

The LT- cash conversion cycles relate to the
acquisition, renewal and disposal of
intangible and tangible infrastructure and the
long-term sourcing of funds
 Productive
capacity acquired for cash and
subsequently consumed during several SToperating cycles
 Acquisition and disposal of infrastructure =

Cash flows from operating
activities



Operating activities are primarily the revenue-generating
activities of a company
“Operating cash flow” is conceptually most near to “net
profit”
Main differences:
1.
2.
3.
Non-cash expenses and non-cash revenues (f.i.
depreciation expense)
Non-operating items (f.i. gain on disposal of tangible
fixed assets)
Timing differences between net profit and underlying
cash flow (f.i. changes in the level of inventories,
receivables, creditors, etc.)

Operating cash flows –
Direct versus indirect method
2 methods for identifying and presenting the
operating cash flow:


Direct method: engenders the presentation of the
most important categories of gross operating cash
inflows and cash outflows
Indirect method: net operating cash flow is
determined by adjusting the (net) profit figure for the
3 types of differences

Determine the net change in cash
 Compare beginning and ending balance
Identify all transactions of the period leading to a change
in cash
 Direct: analyze movements in the accounts of cash
(equivalents) transaction by transaction
 Indirect: explain net change of cash by analyzing all
other accounts, knowing that each transaction with
an impact on cash also affects a non-cash account
Use the information (of step 1 and 2) to construct a cash
flow statement according to the formal rules

Applying step 2



Information for operating cash flow is primarily
derived from balances in the IS, while information for
the two other principal categories comes from the
Balance Sheet (and details in the Notes)
Movements in the accounts indicate a change in
financial position and further examination is needed
to determine if they had a cash impact
Check if balances have been impacted by “accrualbased adjustments” or other “non-cash activities”

Disposal of equipment:
-


Acquisition cost
275
Accum. depreciation - 200
Net carrying value = 115
 Sale at 135
Result (gain) on disposal = 135 - 115= 20
Incoming cash flow = 135, composed of a decrease in
net carrying value of equipment in the BS (115) and
gain on disposal in the IS (20)
