Explanation:

The classification of cash movements is based on three monetary flows:

Cash flows from operating activities: are the cash flows (collections and payments) derived from the main activity of the company with which it generates income and expenses. Cash flows from investment activities: are payments derived from the acquisition of non-current assets (intangible assets, materials, real estate investments ...) as well as charges derived from disposal, amortization or maturity. Cash flows from financing activities: These are collections from the acquisition by third parties of securities issued by the company or from resources granted by financial entities, as well as payments made for their amortization or return. Payments to shareholders in the form of dividends also fall into this category.
