Definition: Expresses free cash after required reinvestment as a percentage of another economic base. This allows intensity, efficiency or coverage to be compared without company size dominating the reading.
Calculation: Free cash flow / revenue.
Uses: Useful for comparing similar models and tracking efficiency, pricing power, financial risk or taxation. It can mislead across sectors or with one-offs, restructuring or accounting-policy changes. Complement with growth, FCF, ROIC, asset turnover and notes.
