Der Cash Flow zeigt welche finanziellen Mittel ein Unternehmen in einer Periode erwirtschaftet hat. Es handelt sich um den Teil der Umsatzeinnahmen, der nicht kurzfristig wieder zu Ausgaben führt, sondern für die Schuldentilgung oder für Investionnen verwendbar ist ("Umsatzüberschuss"). Zur Bestimmung des Cash Flow dient folgende Gleichung:
Jahresüberschuss
+ NICHT zahlungswirksame (liquiditätswirksame)
Aufwendungen
- NICHT zahlungswirsame (liquiditätswirksame)
Ertäge
= CASH FLOW
Die Veränderung des Working Capitals berücksichtigt wurde, entspricht der operative Cashflow der Summe der Liquiden Mittel, die aus der operativen Tätigkeit
generiert werden konnten und nun für Investitionen, Kredittilgungen und Ausschüttungen an Eigenkapitalgeber zur Verfügung stehen.
Während der Cashflow aus dem Ergebnis auch Cashflow auf Basis Working Capital gennant wird, wird der operative Cashflow auch als Cashflow auf Basis liquider
Mittel bezeichnet, da er alle Mittel umfasst, die gewissermaßen früher oder später dem Unternehmen als liquide Mittel zu- oder abfließen werden.
