Understanding Depreciation & Amortization
What is Depreciation & Amortization? Depreciation and Amortization (D&A) is a non-cash expense that allocates the cost of tangible and intangible assets over their useful lives.
Why it Matters: D&A is a significant expense that reduces reported earnings but doesn't require cash outflow. High D&A relative to CapEx may indicate aging assets. Low D&A relative to peers might suggest under-investment in assets.
How to Use: Compare D&A to CapEx - if D&A consistently exceeds CapEx, the company may be under-investing. Add D&A back to net income to calculate cash flow from operations. High D&A companies often have higher free cash flow than net income.
