Corporate Cash Flow — Thank Goodness For Depreciation
May 02, 2003

The Fed's flow of funds database is just packed with nuggets of information. Unfortunately, these days those nuggets are radioactive when it comes to the economy. For example, one of the nuggets I just discovered is that for the past three years running economic depreciation for nonfinancial corporations has accounted for over 90% of their domestic cash flow. (Cash flow is defined here as essentially book profits minus accrued tax liabilities, dividend payments, and depreciation.) As can be seen in Chart 1, this is the highest depreciation has been as a percent of cash flow in the post-WWII period. In 2001, depreciation accounted for slightly over 100% of cash flow!
