Free Cash Flow GAAP Reconciliation
(In millions, except footnotes)
We define "free cash flow" as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of, and plus proceeds from, equipment and intangible assets. The equipment and intangible asset purchases and proceeds are included in cash flows
from investing activities. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements. However, free cash flow is
not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. Accordingly, free cash flow should not be considered an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity.
The table below provides a reconciliation between net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow.
Net cash provided by operating activities
Purchases of rental equipment
Purchases of non-rental equipment and intangible assets
Proceeds from sales of rental equipment
Proceeds from sales of non-rental equipment
Insurance proceeds from damaged equipment
