Cash Flow

A key measure of a company's financial health. It is a revenue stream calculated by subtracting cash receipts from cash payments for a given period. Closely watched by lenders, it increasingly merits its own statement in a company's financial report, although formats vary. It usually consists of net profit minus depreciation and amortization.
