Free cash flow is calculated by using the formula. Which have been mentioned hereunder:
Free Cash Flow = Operating Income- Change in the net operating assets
= $2740.1-(12,045.2- 10,869.0) = $1563.9
Free Cash Flow by Using Method 2,
Free Cash Flow = Net Financial Expenses- ΔNFO + d
= 1477.1- (6113.7-4124.6) +3405.9
= 1563.9
Net pay out to shareholders (d) = Comprehensive Income – ΔCSE
= (2740.1-147.1)- (-812.9)
= 3405.9
