Explanation / Answer
It is a mixed performance. Some years we have grown our cash flow from operarting activites that is from 2012 to 14 and again it came down from 14 to 15 and went up from 15 to 16.We can find that we are using more money for fianncing and investing activites by whoch the net change in cash is negative in 2012 to 14 but we reduced spend in 15 to 16.
The trend of free cash flow is positive as it is increasing form 2012 to 2014 and one dip in 2015 and agin up in 2016. The capital expenditure is more in 2012 and 2013 by which we have less free cahs flow but performed well in this years.
