What Is a Cash Flow Statement TTM?
A cash flow statement TTM (Trailing Twelve Months) is a financial report that aggregates the most recent four quarters of cash flow data into a rolling 12-month view. Unlike annual reports that reflect a fixed fiscal year, a TTM view advances when new reports are available and processed, providing a rolling picture of a company's cash generation and usage. The statement of cash flows is divided into three sections: operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities — together revealing how a company earns, spends, and manages its cash.
For a manual check, sum four non-overlapping quarters of flow items. Do not sum cumulative year-to-date reports or beginning/end cash balances. Operating cash flow of 10, 12, 8 and 15 totals 45; capex outflows of 2, 3, 2 and 4 total 11, giving 34 under the simple FCF definition. These are illustrative figures in one currency.
See the FMP endpoint documentation and the SEC’s non-GAAP guidance for data and FCF limitations. Missing fields are not zero; reporting currency is not converted by this page.

Key Cash Flow Metrics Explained
Operating Cash Flow
Cash generated from core business operations. Compare it with working-capital movements and non-cash adjustments to understand why it differs from earnings.
Free Cash Flow
Operating cash flow less capital spending expressed as a positive outflow. Definitions vary; this non-GAAP figure may exclude other mandatory payments and is not automatically distributable cash.
Capital Expenditure
Money spent on acquiring or maintaining physical assets like property, plants, and equipment. High capex may indicate growth investment or asset-heavy business models.
Net Income
The starting point under the indirect method. Differences from operating cash flow can arise from depreciation, working capital and other timing items; a large gap alone does not establish accounting misconduct.
Stock Based Compensation
A non-cash expense added back to net income in the operating section. High SBC can dilute shareholders even when cash flow looks strong. Important to monitor for tech companies.
Common Stock Repurchased
Cash spent on share buybacks in the financing section. Net shares outstanding also depend on new issuance and stock compensation. Spending on buybacks alone does not establish management confidence or attractive valuation.
