1. Net income = EBIT - (taxes + interest expense)
2. Cash Flow After Tax = Net income + Depreciation + amortization + non-cash charges
3. NOPAT = EBIT x (1 - Tax Rate)
4. Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + depreciation - taxes
5. Free cash flow = net income + amortization + depreciation - changes in working capital - capital expenses
*changes in working capital would be operating capital this year less the operating capital in the previous year.
6. EVA = NOPAT - (capital * cost of capital)"
