- Definition
- Shows cash flows used or received when buying and selling assets, investments or businesses in the cash-flow statement. Unlike the income statement, the focus is the cash movement or the reconciliation explaining why accounting profit differs from generated liquidity.
- Calculation
- Capex + adquisiciones netas + compras de inversiones + ventas/vencimientos de inversiones + otros flujos de inversion.
- Uses
- Useful for separating accounting profit from real cash generation and tracking reinvestment, acquisitions, debt, dividends and buybacks. Especially important in mature businesses, cyclicals, roll-ups and high-capex companies. It can mislead through working-capital timing, irregular capex, refinancing or M&A. Cross-check net income, EBITDA, maintenance capex and net debt.
