Viterra  (ASX:VTA) 3-Year FCF Growth Rate Explanation

Free Cash Flow per Share is the amount of Free Cash Flow per outstanding share of the company's stock. Free Cash Flow is considered one of the most important parameters to measure a company's earnings power by value investors because it is not subject to estimates of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (DDA). However, when we look at the Free Cash Flow, we should look from a long term perspective, because any year's Free Cash Flow can be drastically affected by the spending on Property, Plant, & Equipment (PPE) of the business in that year. Over the long term, Free Cash Flow should give pretty good picture on the real earnings power of the company. It's used in the calculation of Forward Rate of Return (Yacktman) %.

Viterra Inc was founded in 1924. The Company's business is managed and reported through three interrelated segments: Grain Handling and Marketing, Agri-products and Processing. In addition, a corporate non-operating segment is reported. Its Grain Handling and Marketing segment mainly handles wheat, durum, barley, canola and pulses. It derives its revenue from accumulating, storing, blending, transporting and marketing these grains from the producer's farm to end-use markets. This segment includes grain storage facilities and special crop processing plants strategically located in the prime agricultural growing regions of North America (primarily Western Canada) and southern Australia. It also has port export terminals located in Canada and South Australia and marketing offices located throughout North America, Australia, Europe and Asia. Its Agri-products segment is engaged in the sale of seed, crop protection products, fertilizer, and small agricultural equipment through a network of retail locations. The agri-products operation includes seed research and development, nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing, and crop protection product formulation and packaging. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2011, the Company added bulk fuel distribution to its agri-products offerings in Western Canada. Its Processing segment extends the Company's value chain by producing food ingredients for consumer products companies and food processors around the world.
