Cash Flow from Operating Activities vs Net Income [Video]

Cash Flow from Operating Activities vs Net Income

0:00 So what’s the difference between net income and cash flow from operating activities?
Net income is a company’s profit according to the accrual basis of accounting. Cash flow from operating activities (aka operating cash flow) is a company’s profit after removing the effects of accrual accounting.

Thus, you could view:
• Net income as accrual-basis profit
• Operating cash flow as cash-basis profit

0:23 But what does “accrual-basis profit” even mean? It means that net income increases when revenues are earned and decreases when expenses are incurred, not necessarily when cash changes hands. In other words, cash coming in or out has no effect on net income.

To find the cash generated by the company’s operations, you don’t go to the income statement. You go to the statement of cash flows.

There are 3 sections in the statement of cash flows (operating, investing, financing) but the information you want is in the top section: operating activities.

1:10 Now the operating activities section will be presented in one of two ways:
• If the company uses the direct method, it will show cash collected from customers and then subtract cash payments to suppliers, to employees, and for interest and taxes.
• Now if the company uses the indirect method, the operating section will instead start with net income and show various adjustments to undo the effects of accrual accounting

1:53 So how are net income and operating cash flow related?
net income = revenue recognized – expenses incurred
net income + / – adjustments = operating cash flow

2:10 How is operating cash flow derived from net income?

3:13 Can a company have net income and negative cash flows?

5:15 So which is better: net income or operating cash flow?
• You’ll hear more about net income in the financial news because it’s the basis for calculating earnings per share
• And analysts pay a lot of attention to earnings
• So it’s tempting to overlook operating cash flow
But remember that net income, and thus earnings per share, is the result of accruals. And accruals are affected by managers’ judgement, estimates, and in some cases manipulation.

Thus, it’s best to evaluate a company’s net income and its operating cash flow, and to make sure you understand any discrepancies between the two

IFRS 16 Summary [Video]

Here's a summary of IFRS 16 for both lessees and lessors. Lessees must capitalize all leases except for short-term leases (12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets (asset has a fair value of $5,000 or less at the beginning of the lease). Capitalization means the lessee must record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its statement of financial position at the commencement of the lease. The lessee then records depreciation expense (for the right-of-use asset) and interest expense (for the lease liability) throughout the lease term. Lessors must first classify their lease as a finance lease or an operating lease, as this has a significant effect on the lessor's accounting. If the lease is a finance lease, the lessor must derecognize the asset from its statement of financial position and record a lease receivable upon commencement of the lease. (If the lessor is a manufacturer or a dealer, the lessor must also record sales revenue and cost of goods sold upon commencement of the lease.) The lessor then records interest revenue (for the lease receivable) throughout the lease term.If the lessor has classified the lease as an operating lease, then the lessor should not remove the asset from its statement of financial position or record a lease receivable upon commencement of the lease. (Also, the lessor should not recognize sales revenue or cost of goods sold, even if it is a manufacturer or a dealer.) When it comes to the income statement, the lessor records depreciation expense (because the asset is still on the lessor's books) and records lease revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
