If a company has negative cash flow, the company must borrow money to operate its business. If a company has positive cash flow, the company has money available to spend on expanding its operations and to pay dividends to investors.USAThe amount of actual cash generated by a company or an investment over a given period. It is calculated by adding non-cash charges to net income after taxes. Often considered one of the most important financial statistics of a company.Related linksBonds, guarantees and standby credits: overview
