1
00:00:00,810 --> 00:00:03,568
The first section is
the operating cash flow section,

2
00:00:03,568 --> 00:00:07,730
usually this starts with net income,
and then reconciles

3
00:00:07,730 --> 00:00:12,770
different line items to arrive at cash
provided by operating activities.

4
00:00:12,770 --> 00:00:16,570
If you remember earlier in the course, we
talked about a few items that show up on

5
00:00:16,570 --> 00:00:20,820
the P and L as either expenses or
revenue for a given period.

6
00:00:20,820 --> 00:00:24,670
But they aren't actually paid for
or collected in that period.

7
00:00:24,670 --> 00:00:29,580
That is an intrinsic aspect of accrual
accounting, and the cash flow statement,

8
00:00:29,580 --> 00:00:33,780
among other things, helps communicate
some of those timing differences between

9
00:00:33,780 --> 00:00:38,880
revenue and expense recognition and
cash inflows and outflows.

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,310
Let's take a look at the cash flow
statement for Carnival Cruises.

11
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:48,828
In their operating activities section,
we can see it starts with net income.

12
00:00:48,828 --> 00:00:51,330
Then, a sub-section titled

13
00:00:51,330 --> 00:00:56,890
adjustments to reconcile net income to net
cash provided by operating activities.

14
00:00:56,890 --> 00:01:02,090
The first line in that sub-section
is depreciation and amortization.

15
00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:06,170
We talked about depreciation in
the previous stages, but remember,

16
00:01:06,170 --> 00:01:10,110
it's an expense to account for
the reduction in value of an asset.

17
00:01:10,110 --> 00:01:15,660
So, there's not actually cash going out
the door with a depreciation expense.

18
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:17,460
So, here on the cash flow statement,

19
00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:21,220
we add back the depreciation
expense to net income.

20
00:01:21,220 --> 00:01:25,020
It's a quote source of cash, which we
are adding back to our net income.

21
00:01:26,050 --> 00:01:29,330
So you see a positive number there for
2018.

22
00:01:29,330 --> 00:01:32,574
So after all the line
items in this sub-section,

23
00:01:32,574 --> 00:01:37,200
we arrive at a total figure of 5 billion,
186 million.

24
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,160
Then, the next sub-section
in the statement is

25
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,630
changes in operating assets and
liabilities.

26
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:47,050
Sometimes this will be called
changes in working capital.

27
00:01:47,050 --> 00:01:49,770
Let's look at the first line, receivables.

28
00:01:49,770 --> 00:01:54,880
This is the money people owe us related
to revenue that we haven't collected yet.

29
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,720
So, when there is a negative number here,

30
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,080
that means the amount of money people owe
us as an account receivable has gone up.

31
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,140
When a current asset goes
up from period to period,

32
00:02:06,140 --> 00:02:11,110
that's a use of cash,
it hasn't been turned into cash yet.

33
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:15,190
When it goes down, it will be a source
of cash, same for inventories,

34
00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:16,620
think about it.

35
00:02:16,620 --> 00:02:20,420
As the amount of inventories on
your balance sheet increases,

36
00:02:20,420 --> 00:02:23,560
you are using cash to
build up that inventory.

37
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,130
When it declines, you are using that
inventory to convert it into cash.

38
00:02:29,130 --> 00:02:33,100
We're starting to get into a little
more advanced accounting topics.

39
00:02:33,100 --> 00:02:35,860
So, I don't wanna get too
far ahead of ourselves.

40
00:02:35,860 --> 00:02:39,280
The main point to realize
from this is that

41
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,000
whatever it says on your net income or

42
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,800
net profit line doesn't mean we generated
that amount of cash over this period.

43
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,230
They are often quite different.

44
00:02:48,230 --> 00:02:51,660
Looking at Carnival's operating cash
flow section, we can see that for

45
00:02:51,660 --> 00:02:55,870
the fiscal year 2018
that ends in November,

46
00:02:55,870 --> 00:03:01,340
the business had a net
profit of $3,152,000,000.

47
00:03:01,340 --> 00:03:05,670
But Carnival actually generated 5 billion,

48
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:09,452
549 million in operating cash flow.

49
00:03:09,452 --> 00:03:13,420
So, what do they do with
that $5.5 billion in cash?

50
00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:17,430
Well, that's a great question, and we'll
look at the next sections of the cash flow

51
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:19,570
statement in our next video to answer it.
