The table below summarizes our cash flows from continuing operations activities for each of the last two fiscal years (in thousands):
Operating Activities. Operating cash flows increased $64.4 million in 2019 compared with 2018 primarily due to favorable changes in working capital of  $37.0 million, primarily due to lower income tax payments of$41.3 million, and higher net income adjusted for non-cash items of $27.3 million
