Cash Flow
Operating Cash Flow
Cash generated from core business operations.
Definition
Operating cash flow is the cash actually generated by the day-to-day business — profit converted to cash, adjusted for non-cash charges (depreciation), working capital changes, and other operating items.
Why it matters
Operating cash flow tells you whether reported profits are translating into real cash. A persistent gap between net income and operating cash flow is a classic red flag — accruing earnings on paper without collecting them in cash.
