easy · Investment Banking accounting

SaaSCo recognizes 25 million of stock-based compensation (SBC) as an operating expense.

How does this appear on the cash flow statement?

  1. It is an outflow in the investing section, treated as a purchase of human capital.
  2. It is subtracted from net income in the operating section because it reduces total equity.
  3. It is treated as a financing outflow because it economically represents an equity issuance to staff.
  4. It is added back to net income in the operating section because it is a non-cash expense.
