Free Cash Flow(4)
($ in Millions)
•
The decrease in Free Cash Flow was driven
by higher capital expenditures, partially
offset by an increase in cash provided by
operating activities. The increase in cash
provided by operating activities was
primarily driven by lower income tax
payments, higher Adjusted OIBDA and lower
interest payments, partially offset by an
increase in working capital requirements.
•
Free Cash Flow was reduced by mergerrelated and restructuring payments of $128
million and $111 million during 2014 and
2013, respectively.
