1 | Working capital is comprised of accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and deferred revenue. | |||||||||||||||
2 | Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations less capital and software expenditures. Management considers free cash flow an important measure of its liquidity, as well as its ability to fund future growth and to provide a return to the shareowners. Free cash flow does not include deductions for mandatory debt service, other borrowing activity, discretionary dividends on the Company’s common stock and business acquisitions, among other items. | |||||||||||||||
3 | Free cash flow as reported was $786.3 million and $976.2 million for the three and twelve months ended December 30, 2017, respectively. As a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" and ASU 2016-18, "Restricted Cash," free cash flow has decreased by $235.6 million and $750.1 million for the three and twelve months ended December 30, 2017, respectively. |
