Cash from Operations (OCF)

Net cash generated by the company's core operating activities. Calculated via the indirect method: starts with net income, adds back non-cash items (D&A, SBC), and adjusts for changes in working capital. Harder to manipulate than net income and a primary indicator of business health.
