I think you could calculate free cash flow your way to include changes in working capital quarter after quarter (and the changes in working capital would average out over time) but then your free cash flow could be subject to wild swings every quarter that simply depend on changes in the working capital account rather than fundamental changes in the business. I don't see how this will help you get a better grasp of how the underlying business is doing.

Best, Huey
