Cash flow from operating activities in the fiscal year was $197 million, compared to $265 million in fiscal year 2020. Free cash flow for the full fiscal year was $107 million, compared to $180 million in fiscal year 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was driven primarily by $265 million of cash received in fiscal year 2020
from the termination of the distribution arrangement with WABCO and an increase in fiscal year 2021 working capital requirements.
You can see these earnings are messy because of one big write off.
