Nonpositive profit and free cash flow are omitted as ratio denominators. Amounts use the period's reported currency.

• Operating cash flow is the cash the core business actually brought in, including changes in receivables and inventory.
• Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditure: a gauge of cash available for other uses.
• Large "borrowing" or "cash drawdown" flows mean the company spent more than it generated that year.
