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 or operating cash is negative. The full signed reconciliation is retained: losses remain deductions, and any negative operating-cash total enters the junction from the cash pool. No positive direct-income connection is implied.
  • 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.
  • Cash-flow net income is $1.12 B; the income statement reports $1.12 B for the same period. The difference is $6.00 M. Neither amount has been adjusted.
  • Operating cash flow minus cash purchases of property, plant and equipment equals free cash flow: negative 79,000,000 US dollars minus 236,000,000 US dollars equals negative 315,000,000 US dollars.
  • Cash-flow net income is $1.12 B; the income statement reports $1.12 B for the same period. The difference is $6.00 M. Neither amount has been adjusted.
