### 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 loss −$71.20M − net operating adjustments $23.40M = operating cash −$94.60M. The loss reduces the earnings basis of the reconciliation; it is not a cash payment. The signed loss remains a deduction at the operating reconciliation junction.
- 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.
