Chart connections

  • Beginning cash plus operating, investing and financing cash flows plus the exchange-rate effect equals ending cash. Negative amounts reduce cash.
  • Financing contributions meet at a reconciliation junction before connecting to the net cash total.
  • Investing contributions meet at a reconciliation junction before connecting to the net cash total.
  • Operating reconciliation adjustments are not all independent cash receipts.
  • Net income enters operating cash directly in the reconciliation. The adjustment junction contributes the remaining $7.15B after reconciling the other positive and negative adjustments. These connections depict an accounting reconciliation, not traced cash receipts.
  • Each activity has one net cash bar connected to the shared cash pool. Positive activity totals enter the pool; negative activity totals leave the pool to fund that activity's net payments. The central pool does not assign a particular funding source to a particular payment.
  • The intermediate calculation bars include both sides of the displayed activity breakdowns; they are not additional cash flows.
  • The filer's reported cash figures differ by $1.00 M: its operating, investing and financing totals and exchange-rate effect do not add up to its reported net change in cash. The chart shows the difference as its own calculated flow; no reported amount has been adjusted.
  • Operating cash flow minus cash purchases of property, plant and equipment equals free cash flow: 15,989,000,000 US dollars minus 7,597,000,000 US dollars equals 8,392,000,000 US dollars.
  • The filer's reported cash figures differ by $1.00 M: its operating, investing and financing totals and exchange-rate effect do not add up to its reported net change in cash. The chart shows the difference as its own calculated flow; no reported amount has been adjusted.
