Hello, i do thank you for sharing important knowledge and opinion on this subject, Mr. Damodaran. I have a question which is "For why one wants to calculate the cash flows prior to debt payments?". Thanks for the replies.
That one can also be called free cash flow to firm, which means that money belongs to the firm as firm still has to pay its debt obligations and after paying their debt obligations we get FCFE which belongs only to equity shareholders as potential dividends.
Professor Damodaran, in your analysis, I have always seen you start from the income statements and not the cash flow statements. But from what you have shown, wouldn't it be easier to start with cash flow statements? Thanks for the class.
It could be because the cash flow statement start with the net income to equity holders line; which are adjusted for non-cash items (e.g. depreciation) to reach to the actual cash flow

For a guy who hates accounting, he sure knows a lot of it. LOL
In Toyota's cashflow statement, the 'Deferred Income Taxes' line item is positive for FY2020. What does that mean?
Probably a deduction as a sum already paid in a previous CF statement and reimbursed in the current one.
