What is 'Free Cash Flow - FCF' Free cash flow (FCF) is a measure of a company's financial performance, calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. FCF represents the cash that a company is able to generate after spending the money required to maintain or expand its asset base.
As a result, free cash flow can mostly go to paying the dividend and the company's buyback. 1  However, the buyback isn't a real priority for the company at the moment, and management has discussed its use for managing cash balances.
