Thanks Bobdylan for taking pains in doing these calculations.
The only doubt I have is around CFO (cash flow from operations). Under the heading "Cash Flows" it is directly quoted as "Net Cash From Operating Activities".
Using its value of 17.24, i get a -ve FCF.
I can assure you for Mayur this value is wrong.
:(

So where did it go wrong?

I have a theory.
One method of FCF = CFO - Capex
So, by this for Mayur FCF = 17.24 - 10.73 = 6.51
This sounds reasonable :P

they must have  accomodated the working capital changes in the cash flow from operations term .so what u have done cfo-capex come close and 7cr Free cash flow from both methods is plausible for a company like mayur.

i would advise to go from the basics like i did,because then u are sure of all the terms and u are directly taking figures from the balance sheet and P/L account.

So we all agree that having free cash flow is all fine and nice.
But even I would like to view Free cash flow in some perspective. What is the yardstick we are looking at?
