High-margin, low-capex operations turn a little over $4.0B of sales into cash that largely funds persistent share repurchases.
Over the last three years, free cash flow stayed near$850M while share buybacks ran at a similar level, which helps explain why equity remained negative and cash stayed below$70M even with steady profits. The stretched-looking balance sheet is therefore partly a result of capital return policy; the operating engine still produced free cash flow margins above21% in each of those years.
