The more cash a stock is able to produce, the more that stock is going to be worth, all else being equal. ● 0:30 - 0:51, 1:17 - • summarises the amount of cash that "enters" and "exits" a company • positive number = cash entering • negative number = cash exiting • Statement is broken up into 3 distinct sections: "operating" activities, "investing" activities, and "financing" activities. • operating activities includes any "sources" and "uses" of cash from "business activities". It shows how much cash is "generated" from a company's products or services. • operating activities might include: receipts from sales of goods or services, interest payments, income tax payments, payments made to suppliers (for goods and services used in production), salaries and wages to employees, rent payments, and any other type of "operating expense" • 1:55 cash flows from investing activities includes any "sources" and "uses" of cash from a company's "investments" • includes purchases of PPE, investments in other companies, money spent on acquiring entire companies (acquisitions) • the "investment activies section" is almost always a negative number, especially for companies that are "growing" , because they are using the cash to "grow" the business through "investing" in things like new locations, new equipment to make more products, or even buying other companies. • 2:23 cash flow from Financing activities includes the "sources" of cash from investors and/or banks, as well as the "uses" of cash "paid" to shareholders. • includes payments of dividends, payments for stock repurchases, repayment of debt • changes in cash flows from financing activities are cash "in" when "capital" is "raised" and cash "out" when "dividends" are "paid" • so, if a company "issues" a "bond" to the "public", the company "receives" cash "financing", and that is reflected by a positive number on the cash flow statement. However, when the company "pays" back the money that it borrowed, that is reflected by a negative number on the cash flow statement. ● 3:35 - , 4:08 - • Going through cash flow statement line by line. • The important things an investor needs to watch out for. • first line is company's net income. Net income = how much company made in profit. • net income is "calculated" on a different financial statement called the income statement. • after starting with net income at the top of the cash flow statement, the end goal of the operating activities section is to be able to "calculate", commonly referred to as for short. In between, the net income and operating cash flow line, there's a few important items I'd like to draw your attention towards: • non cash expenses • Depreciation and amortization "line item". Usually for most companies, this is the largest number in this section of the cash flow statement. • Depreciation means that you "write off" the "value" of an "asset" over its "expected" "useful life". The "value" of almost any asset "depreciates" over time, and you can "write off" a certain amount as an "expense" "against" taxes every year. • So, for example, let's say Coca Cola buys a piece of "equipment" that "costs" $1000 that the company believes they will be able to use for 5 years - so its "useful life" is 5 years. This means that this specific piece of equipment depreciates at $200 every year. However, Coca Cola paid for the $1000 piece of equipment "in cash" "up front". So, the $200 annual depreciation expense is considered a "non cash expense", because "no additional cash" is "leaving" the business each year. • As a result, depreciation and amortization expense for the year needs ot be "added back" to "net income" when we are "calculating" "cash from operations" • 5:39 The next "line item" that is important to pay attention to is "stock-based compensation". This is when a company "pays" its employees in "stock" instead of "purely just" "cash". • So, for example, let's say you work at Facebook. Each year you may get $150 000 in "cash" and another $50 000 in "stock" of the company. This is a way companies encourage employees to stay employed in the company for longer, and is very common in the tech industry. Coca Cola isn't a technology company, so this number for them is relatively low. But this is a very important item to consider if you are analysing a tech company. • Just like depreciation, stock based compensation expense is considered a noncash expense. because no actual cash is "leaving" the business. So it also gets added back to net income to calculate "cash flow from operations" • Jumping down the cash flow statement a bit, another important item is the " ". This is also referred to as the company's "". Think of this as the cash needed to "run" the "short term" "operations" of the business. • Things such as "paying" "suppliers" and cash that a business is "owed" from its "customers", but "not yet paid". • Typically, for companies that are "growing", this is a negative number on the cash flow statement, because more "cash" is needed to "manage" the "day to day operations" of the business as it is "growing". However, for more mature companies like Coca Cola this number can vary from being a cash "inflow" ( a positive number ) and a cash "outflow" ( a negative number ), depending on the year. As we see with coca cola, this line was a "source" of cash in 2020 and 2019 but a "use" of cash in 2018. • 7:12 • Additionally, "cash flow from operations" is used to "calculate" a company's "free cash flow". • "Free cash flow" is the single most important metric in evaluating a business. This is because the "value" of any "investment" whether it is a "stock", "apartment building" or "small business", is determined by "the amount of cash flow" the business is able to "generate" over its "life". • In order to calculate FCF, we start with the "cash flow from operations" number. Then we "subtract out" what is referred to as "capital expenditures" or "capex". Capex is cash used by a company to acquire, upgrade, or maintain physical assets such as property, plants, buildings, technology, or equipment. Capex is often used to undertake new projects, or help the company grow, or even just "maintain" its operations. Making capital expenditures on "fixed assets" can include repairing a roof, purchasing a piece of equipment, or building a new factory. So, if Coca Cola were to increase the size of one of its factories Unfinished Thank you for this great video!

Wow, I have been struggling for some time on dissecting the important parts of the Cash Flow Statement. This video was phenomenal as it was concise, highlighted high level metrics, and had some cool analysis equations that I will be adding to my investor toolkit!
@@InvestorCenter I have always confused what is a negative number for “issuance of common stock”, buyback or issuing more? When you said “negative is cash out, and positive is cash in”, it instantly clears my confusion. :)
Great video. I just started learning about financial statements and this has given me a great understanding of the cash flow statement. The statement can give great insight on an organization.
At 14:09 when she calculates the net of stock repurchases and issuance, the +/- signs are reversed from what they are on the KO cashflow statement. For 2020, the amount for Issuance of Stock on the KO statement is 647, but when she calculates the net value she shows this as "-647". Similarly for stock repurchase, the KO cashflow statement for 2020 shows (118) and she shows it as "118". This also occurs for the amounts in 2018 and 2019. I don't understand why she calculates it this way, particularly since she also uses this net amount later in calculating the metric of taking this amount for net stock issuance/repurchase and dividing it by free cash flow. BTW - I'm really enjoying learning from all 3 videos she has done on the different financial statements.
I had a hard time with this too. At the end of the day I guess the important thing is to have the same sign for dividends and repurchases and the opposite sign for issuances, which she does have. The way she labels it as “spent on repurchases” is also consistent with the positive number here. But again I had a hard time getting why the signs are flipped from the way they are on the KO cash flow statement.
It was really great and excellent the way you explained each every step, but I just wanted to request you a suggestion that please give the simplified examples of the companies with a little bit slow speed of explaining and please also highlight how much figure is considered good sign and perfect to invest in comparison to what the company;s current figure is ?. In general It was so better and informational for any investor and finance students. Thank You so much and really appreciate it.

just a question, for your model on total spent on repurchases according to the model there was more stock repurchase than stock issuance which is not what you said. I may be wrong, correct me if I am wrong
How to Read and Analyze a Cash Flow Statement like an Investment Analyst. I think it was a very well developed and debated topic, as an investment flow analyst must know how to carry out correct and accurate analyses.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family...
I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks...

Hello, I have a question. In calculating the Free Cash Flow, were you substract Net Capex from CF from Operations, some Annual Reports already have a "Capital Expenditures" in the investing Activities of a Statement. Do we select that amount instead of Purchase of PP&E and disponsals or do we need to realize another equation?
Rental properties can provide a steady cash flow. The average return on investment (ROI) for real estate is higher than many other asset classes, often yielding 8-12% annually.
Great video. I am just at the beginning of my investment journey and your video helped me a lot! Thanks for that. However, I have one question. Why is the share issuances is a negative number in the cash flow statement? I thought when a company issuances the shares they raise money, hence increasing the cash. and when a company repurchases the stocks, they buy back the shares, and hence cash decreases. Thanks in advance!
You can see at 14:40 that the issuances are indeed a positive line item on the Cash Flow Statement and stock repurchases are negative. The other calculation that she is doing is for net share repurchase for which share repurchase is positive and share issuance is negative. Had this net share repurchase itself been a line item on the cash flow statement, it would have been subtracted from the cash flow from financing activities.
To oversimply, companies owners have incentives to artificially reduce earnings and thereby reduce corporate tax incurred, which is based on earning instead of cash flow.
Great video :) Question for you, if you don't mind. Up until now, two of the metrics I look at when valuating a business is 5 year average growth of Revenue and EBITDA. But I'm learning that it's better to look at FCF. However, I'm learning quickly that investments, share buy backs etc. can skew the average 5 year FCF growth if a company made a big investments or bought a lot of shares in 1 year. How can I most accurately determine a average 5 year growth rate for a company? For example. If we look at MED. It looks like they did well if you only look at their Revenue and EBITDA - it increased from 2020 to 2021. But if you look at their FCF it declined significantly. So it negatively skews the 5 year average FCF growth rate completely (when in reality, investments and share buy backs are good for a company).
If I may help - check the trading assets (trade receivables + stock) and the trading liabilities (trade payables + accruals). You may likely see a huge growth in the trading assets, meaning revenue growth was based on credit and not cash payment, while they had to pay cash for trade liabilities (this should be low). If you go further to calculate the time it takes to buy stock/inventory, hold till sales, and collect payment on sales, you may notice that it takes longer than the time it takes to pay for the stock purchased. Therefore, FCF will be impacted negatively, if they are unable to collect on the receivables, even though revenue is growing. Hope this helps.
Amazing video. Can you explain why some public companies don't show "net change in assets & liabilities " (working capital) on their cash flow statements? Ive seen some that don't? Thank you!

Hello, I have a question. In calculating the Free Cash Flow, were you substract Net Capex from CF from Operations, some Annual Reports already have a "Capital Expenditures" in the investing Activities of a Statement. Do we select that amount instead of Purchase of PP&E and disponsals or do we need to realize another equation?
very good, helpful. thank u
Thank you 🙏
Thank you!
Hey, will there be a video about the Balance sheet in the future? Would be very interesting. Thank you
Yes! Working on that video now
What an amazing video, thanks for sharing
Rental properties can provide a steady cash flow.
The average return on investment (ROI) for real estate is higher than many other asset classes, often yielding 8-12% annually.

Great video....Thank you
you're doing God's work
Thank you!
Great video. I am just at the beginning of my investment journey and your video helped me a lot! Thanks for that. However, I have one question. Why is the share issuances is a negative number in the cash flow statement? I thought when a company issuances the shares they raise money, hence increasing the cash. and when a company repurchases the stocks, they buy back the shares, and hence cash decreases. Thanks in advance!
I noticed the same. It is a shame you have not received an answer to your question, but you are correct !
You can see at 14:40 that the issuances are indeed a positive line item on the Cash Flow Statement and stock repurchases are negative. The other calculation that she is doing is for net share repurchase for which share repurchase is positive and share issuance is negative. Had this net share repurchase itself been a line item on the cash flow statement, it would have been subtracted from the cash flow from financing activities.
Great video.
Just amazing.
Please explain why cash flow (or free cash flow) is a better metric than earnings when evaluating a company. Thank you!
Because it shows actual cash earned by the company. You'll still need to dig deep to understand the actual FCF though.
To oversimply, companies owners have incentives to artificially reduce earnings and thereby reduce corporate tax incurred, which is based on earning instead of cash flow.
Earnings can be manipulated by accounting, FCF is a truer picture

Amazing content. Can you please do a video on DCF valuation. Thank you
Great video :) Question for you, if you don't mind. Up until now, two of the metrics I look at when valuating a business is 5 year average growth of Revenue and EBITDA. But I'm learning that it's better to look at FCF. However, I'm learning quickly that investments, share buy backs etc. can skew the average 5 year FCF growth if a company made a big investments or bought a lot of shares in 1 year. How can I most accurately determine a average 5 year growth rate for a company?
For example. If we look at MED. It looks like they did well if you only look at their Revenue and EBITDA - it increased from 2020 to 2021. But if you look at their FCF it declined significantly. So it negatively skews the 5 year average FCF growth rate completely (when in reality, investments and share buy backs are good for a company).
If I may help - check the trading assets (trade receivables + stock) and the trading liabilities (trade payables + accruals). You may likely see a huge growth in the trading assets, meaning revenue growth was based on credit and not cash payment, while they had to pay cash for trade liabilities (this should be low). If you go further to calculate the time it takes to buy stock/inventory, hold till sales, and collect payment on sales, you may notice that it takes longer than the time it takes to pay for the stock purchased. Therefore, FCF will be impacted negatively, if they are unable to collect on the receivables, even though revenue is growing. Hope this helps.
Is the Disposals of PP&E a cost of disposal or is it income, from a sale? Why is it positive?
Excellent!
Appreciate it.
Appreciate you watching the video!
Amazing video. Can you explain why some public companies don't show "net change in assets & liabilities " (working capital) on their cash flow statements? Ive seen some that don't? Thank you!
Can you do an analyze statements like a credit/ debt investment firm?
7:11 How does working capital become positive? Operating costs and maintenance are always negative, aren't they?
If your Net Current Assets are higher than your net Current Liabilities your Working Capital is positive
And where to get an information about options compensation? I know there are some resources with this insider data, but where to get it on SEC, from which files on the website and how to interpret?
Can we expect the same analysis for balance sheet?
