FCF growth (YoY)

The year-over-year change in free cash flow (operating cash flow less capital expenditure) — growth in the cash a business actually generates for its owners. Often more honest than earnings growth because cash is harder to manage. Not-meaningful when prior-year FCF was zero or negative.

Formula

(latest FY free cash flow − prior FY free cash flow) ÷ prior FY free cash flow × 100
