Free cash flow or
cash flow from assets equals cash from operations adjusted for net capital spending and net investment in working capital. Cash flow from operations is net income plus interest expense if any plus depreciation. Depreciation is not a cash flow and interest expense is not an operating cash flow.
Net capital spending equals depreciation plus ending net fixed assets minus opening net fixed assets. It is the amount of cash used to purchase new fixed assets over cash generated from sale of fixed assets.
Net investment in working capital equals ending net working capital of the firm minus beginning net working capital of the firm. Net working capital means current assets less current liabilities.
It shows how much cash an entity has to invest, finance, or to do any other activities other than running business operations.
