Does this not double-count Depreciation? Once in the early add-back for D&A and once in accounting for Cash from Investing?

Hi Anthony,
We are only adding back Depreciation once, in the Cash Flow from Operations section, the Cash Flows from Investing section will include spending on Capital Expenditures, Intangible Assets and other Long-term investments.
