Operating cash flow was so high in Q1 2025 because **Salesforce's net income increased dramatically** from **$199 million** in Q1 2024 to **$1,533 million** in Q1 2025, coupled with **improved changes in operating assets and liabilities**—notably a larger positive change in accounts receivable, an increase in stock-based compensation expense, and a more pronounced decrease in unearned revenue. Additionally, the company experienced an overall **39% year-over-year increase in operating cash flow**, which was partly attributed to the timing of cash tax payments.  **[0001108524-24-000009_crm-20240430.htm:4]** **[0001108524-24-000007_crm-q1fy25xexhibit991.htm:8]** **[CRM_3390992_6]** 

Why was Operating Cash Flow so high in Q1 2025?

The strong increase in operating cash flow in FY 2024 was driven by **several factors**. Primarily, there was a **substantial rise in net income** (**$4,136 million** in FY 2024 compared to **$208 million** in FY 2023) which had a critical impact. Additionally, **depreciation and amortization expenses** increased slightly, helping to boost cash flow because these non-cash expenses were added back. Adjustments in **working capital** also played a key role: a smaller negative change in **accounts receivable**, favorable contributions from **unearned revenue**, and a more positive impact from the amortization of costs capitalized to obtain revenue contracts all contributed to the rise. Together, these elements offset the decrease in stock-based compensation and the adverse impact from the change in accounts payable and accrued expenses.  **[0001108524-24-000005_crm-20240131.htm:100]** **[0001108524-24-000005_crm-20240131.htm:84]** 

What factors drove the strong increase in Operating Cash Flow in FY 2024?

What contributed to the jump in Free Cash Flow in Q1 2025?

The notable increase in Operating Cash Flow in Q4 2024 was driven by several key factors. **Higher Net Income** played a primary role—rising to **$4,136 million** from just **$208 million** in Q4 2023. This improvement was supported by **enhanced operating efficiency**, which was reflected in a significantly higher non-GAAP operating margin, and **growth in unearned revenue** by **$1,623 million** due to strong early renewals and new business performance. Additionally, there was a **reduction in stock-based compensation expense** (from **$3,279 million** to **$2,787 million**) and **better management of accounts receivable** (with a change of **$(659) million** compared to **$(995) million** in the prior period). These combined factors contributed to the improved cash flow in Q4 2024.  **[0001108524-24-000002_crm-q4fy24xexhibit991.htm:11]** **[0001108524-24-000002_crm-q4fy24xexhibit991.htm:16]**

Salesforce’s cash and cash equivalents spiked to **$9,155 million in Q1 2024** primarily due to a significant increase in operating cash flow and positive contributions from investing activities. During this quarter, Salesforce generated **$4,491 million** in net cash from operating activities—a **22% year-over-year increase**—reflecting strong revenue growth and disciplined cost management. Additionally, a net cash inflow of **$347 million** from investing activities further boosted its cash position, despite a net outflow of **$2,716 million** from financing activities. Collectively, these factors drove the overall increase of **$2,139 million** in cash and cash equivalents for the quarter.  **[0001108524-23-000023_crm-20230430.htm:34]** **[0001108524-23-000023_crm-20230430.htm:5]** 

Why did cash and cash equivalents spike to 9,155 in Q1 2024?

The increase to **98,849 million USD** in Q4 2023 was primarily driven by a **rise in current assets**—with significant increases in **cash and cash equivalents (from 5,464 to 7,016 million USD)** and **accounts receivable, net (from 9,739 to 10,755 million USD)**—as well as an increased investment in **property and equipment, net (from 2,815 to 3,702 million USD)** and a slight increase in **goodwill**. These growth factors were partially offset by declines in **intangible assets acquired through business combinations** and **strategic investments**, reflecting Salesforce's overall operational growth and investment in its asset base during the period.  **[0001108524-23-000007_crm-q4fy23xexhibit991.htm:9]** 

What drove total assets to reach 98,849 in Q4 2023?

The dramatic decrease in current debt to **181 million USD** in Q1 2024 compared to **1,182 million USD** in Q4 2023 is primarily due to the complete repayment of the **2023 Senior Notes** during the quarter.  **[0001108524-23-000023_crm-20230430.htm:2]** **[0001108524-23-000023_crm-20230430.htm:24]** 

Why is current debt dramatically lower at 181 in Q1 2024?
