Financing cash flow

Net cash flow from financing activities comprise receipts or repayments of principal from or to external providers of finance. It can help the investors and creditors estimate the claim for the cash flow of the company in the future, and the price to obtain the cash inflows previously.

Financing cash inflows include:

1. receipts form issuing shares or other equity instruments.
2. receipts for missuing debentures, loans, notes and bonds and from other long-term and short-term borrowings, but not including overdrafts, which are included in cash and cash equivalents.

Financing cash outflows include:

1. repayments of amounts borrowed, but not including overdrafts
2. the capital element of finance lease rental payments
3. payments to reacquire or redeem the entity’s shares.

You should measure the price of financing cash flow and the earnings when you’re financing the cash flow.
