Cash flow refers to the total gross resources remaining to a company at the end of a financial year. Cash flow is calculated as the difference between cashable income and cashable expenses.Â

What is the purpose of cash flow?
Cash flow enables the company to grow by meeting its own investment needs. This cash flow can also be used for savings, loan repayments or to remunerate shareholders in the form of dividends. Cash flow is also used to calculate certain financial ratios, such as free cash flow.
When valuing a company, the calculation of cash flow is important, as it expresses the company's resources after all the investments required to sustain the company's activity. It is a highly valued indicator when taking over a company, for example, in order to know whether the company will be able to finance its growth and repay the debts linked to the takeover.
