How it's calculated

Net cash flow = operating + investing + financing
Closing cash = opening cash + net cash flow
Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital spending

Cash flow is not profit: a profitable business can still run out of cash if customers pay late or it buys equipment up front. Operating cash flow is the one to watch; free cash flow is what remains for repaying debt, paying owners or growing.
