How did the company’s operating cash flow and free cash flow perform relative to prior periods?

Answer

The press release you referenced only provides the following financial highlights for U‑Hal Holding Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2026 (ended June 30 2025):

Operating cash flow and free cash flow are not disclosed in this release.

The statement does not contain any figures or commentary on:

• Operating cash flow (the cash generated from the company’s core operations)
  
• Free cash flow (operating cash flow less capital expenditures)
  

Because those cash‑flow metrics are absent, we cannot determine how they compare to prior periods (e.g., whether they increased, decreased, or held steady versus Q1 FY 2025 or earlier quarters).

What to Do Next

If you need the operating cash flow and free cash flow data for this quarter, you can obtain it from one of the following sources:

1. Form 10‑Q filing – Public companies file quarterly reports with the SEC that include a cash‑flow statement. U‑Hal’s Form 10‑Q for the quarter ending June 30 2025 will list operating cash flow, investing cash flow, financing cash flow, and free cash flow (or the components needed to calculate it).
   
2. Investor Relations website – U‑Hal’s investor‑relations portal often posts a “Quarterly Results” slide deck or a “Management Discussion & Analysis” (MD&A) that may highlight cash‑flow performance.
   
3. Fact‑set or Bloomberg terminals – If you have access to a financial data platform, you can pull the cash‑flow figures for the quarter and compare them to prior periods.
   

How to calculate free cash flow if it isn’t directly reported:

[
\text{Free Cash Flow} = \text{Operating Cash Flow} - \text{Capital Expenditures}
]

Once you have the operating cash flow and capital‑expenditure numbers from the cash‑flow statement, you can compute free cash flow and then assess the change versus the previous quarter or year.

Bottom Line

Based solely on the information in the Business Wire release, we cannot answer how U‑Hal’s operating cash flow or free cash flow performed relative to prior periods. You’ll need to consult the company’s SEC filings (Form 10‑Q) or other investor‑relations materials for those cash‑flow details. If you locate those statements and share the numbers here, I can gladly provide a comparative analysis.
