    Hello.
    In chapter 8, the 2nd lecture or the Relevant cash flows for DCF Working capital (examples 2 and 3) lecture, why is it that the operating cash flows are negative?

    As always, really thankful for the lectures and all the help 🙂

    But the operating cash flows are not negative!

    In example 3, the operating costs are negative because they are payments (but the revenue is an inflow and the net operating flow is positive).

    The working capital flows are negative because money is being paid out to finance the working capital.
