The arithmetic
- GAAP earnings — dividends declared per share $1.35 ÷ diluted EPS $4.60
- Operating cash flow — dividends paid $128m ÷ operating cash flow $-311m
- Free cash flow — dividends paid $128m ÷ (operating cash flow $-311m − capex $27.7m)

Computed by an open pipeline reading SEC XBRL directly. If any number here looks wrong to you, tell us — that is more useful to us than agreement.
