The principal sources for cash flows are capital expenditures, total cash dividends paid, and issuance of stock.
Capital expenditures refer to the net spending on fixed assets.
Though the company has spent less on fixed assets than the average over the past five years, it still comprises a large percentage of the company's principal use of funds. Total cash dividends paid is cash that goes to stockholders. The board of directors decide to pay dividends and once they have been declared they automatically become a debt to the firm. Issuance of stock also accounts for a large portion of the use of funds. This increased issuance of stock is reflective of the increase in total cash dividends in that as more stock has been issued, stockholders are receiving more cash for the stock they hold in the company.
