FCF Growth Trend

-66.3%

Significant FCF decline raises concerns. Urgent review needed of operational performance and capital allocation.

Working Capital Impact

+$2.81B

Working capital inflow boosted cash flow. Efficient management of receivables, inventory, and payables contributing positively.
