Cash flow is a generic term used differently depending on the context. It may be defined by users for their own purposes. It can refer to actual past flows or to projected future flows. It can refer to the total of all the flows involved or to only a subset of those flows. Subset terms include “net cash flow”, operating cash flow and free cash flow.
Cash Flow Classifications
Cash flows are classified into:
• Operational cash flows: Cash received or expended as a result of the company's internal business activities. It includes cash earnings plus changes to working capital. Over the medium term this must be net positive if the company is to remain solvent.
• Investment cash flows: Cash received from the sale of long-life assets or spent on capital expenditure (investments, acquisitions and long-life assets).
• Financing cash flows: Cash received from the issue of debt and equity or paid out as dividends, share repurchases or debt repayments
All three together – the net cash flow – are necessary to reconcile the beginning cash balance to the ending cash balance.
