Investopedia explains Operating Cash Flow (OCF)

Operating cash flow is the cash that a company generates as a result of normal business operations. It is arguably a better measure of a business's profits than is earnings because a company can show positive net earnings (on the income statement) and not be able to pay its debts. It is cash flow that pays the bills: OCF also can be used to check on the quality of a company's earnings. If a firm reports record earnings but negative cash, it may be using aggressive accounting techniques.
