The sharp increase in operating cash flow in FY 2024 was driven primarily by an improvement in working capital management, which included **lower inventory purchases** and **better timing of vendor payments** that shifted the working capital impact from **$(6,240) million in FY 2023** to a positive **$2,333 million in FY 2024**. This improvement more than offset a decrease in net earnings, and other factors such as increased depreciation and amortization also contributed to the overall rise in cash flow.  **[0000354950-24-000031_hd_exhibit991x1282024.htm:4]** **[0000354950-24-000062_hd-20240128.htm:61]**
