Free Cash Flow
$2.15B
We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and principal payment of finance leases. We use Free Cash Flow to help manage the health of our business, prepare budgets and for capital allocation purposes. We believe Free Cash Flow provides useful supplemental information to help investors understand underlying trends in our business and our liquidity. Free Cash Flow also reflects cash flows from both continuing and discontinued operations. Our definition may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish Free Cash Flow or similar metrics. Thus, our Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. 19 Table of Contents The following table provides our Free Cash Flow for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to Free Cash Flow: Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | | | 2025 (In thousands) Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | | 2,160,433 | | | | $ | | 1,603,938 Less: Purchase of property and equipment | | (1,840) | | | | (180) Principal payments of finance leases (8,528) | | | | (9,964) Free Cash Flow | | $ | | 2,150,065 | | | | $ | | 1,593,794 Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | | $ | | (7,688) | | | | $ | | 378,884 Net cash used in financing activities | | $ | | (1,582,651) | | | | $ | | (1,539,594)
