Cash Flow from Investing (CFI) is a measure of the cash used to maintain and grow the business, also called Capital Expenditures, or CAPEX. In 2007, management spent only 6.69% of its revenues in attempting to spur growth in its operating business lines. That was among the lowest in the industry and indicates that this company either does not feel it is necessary to or is unable to invest as much as others in the group. Cash Flow from Financing (CFF) describes the inflows and outflows between a company and its owners or creditors (although interest paid is part of CFO). In 2007, CFF totaled $17.5M or 6.69% of revenues. This consistently positive value over the last 4 years, tells us that this company looks to the capital markets for fuel to help it grow.
