Cash Flow Quality

Cash Flow Quality

Operating cash flow of $332M far exceeded the net loss of $(197)M, indicating strong cash conversion as non-cash charges (depreciation, equity compensation, impairment, and debt extinguishment loss) added back $385M. Working capital was a net use of $76M, primarily from a $134M decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities. Capital expenditures totaled $148M (capex intensity of 44.6% of CFO), down from $174M in the prior period. The company issued $691M in debt and used $940M to extinguish existing debt, plus $54M for share withholding taxes, leading to a net financing outflow of $303M. Free cash flow is not explicitly stated but can be approximated as CFO minus capex: $184M. Overall, the cash flow statement reflects improved operational efficiency and significant balance sheet restructuring.
