• FREE CASH FLOW
  
  Cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures and dividends. Cash flow from operations is reduced by those adjustments to generate a measure of cash available to meet other corporate purposes. While the above definition is commonly used by equity investors, bank credit analysts create similar measures of free cash flow that may involve more or different adjustments to cash flow from operations.
