Unfortunately, I just discovered this thread. I've read through most of the posts, and I really hate to see it end with no closure. I am searching for all of the different ways to calculate FCF and would like to see a summary of all of the different ideas of what the right FCF is. Maybe the thread can keep going if we decide there really is no right way, and can value companies based on a few different ideas of what FCF is. Maybe we can come up with some "standard thread nomenclature" for the different ideas people have, Like Basic Free Cash Flow (BFCF) is just Net Income + D&A - CAPEX, and Conservative Free Cash Flow is BFCF - R&D, etc. Just an idea.
