Cash flow from assets measures the cash flows generated by the firm's assets.
If a firm is new, or if it's investing heavily to promote growth, its cash flow may be negative.
Cash flow from assets may calculated in the following way:
Operating Cash Flow - Net Capital Spending - Change in Net Working Capital (NWC)
Here's a breakdown of those components:
Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
Net Capital Spending = Ending net fixed assets - beginning net fixed assets + depreciation
Change in NWC = Ending NWC - Beginning NWC
*where NWC is Current Assets - Current Liabilities
