According to Youanalyze, Foxconn reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of NT$369.2 billion (USD $11.5B) for the first three quarters of 2026, up 50.3% year-over-year and already exceeding last year's full-year EBITDA of NT$357 billion. However, free cash flow recorded a net outflow of NT$287.4 billion, compared to an outflow of NT$125.1 billion in the same period last year. Capital expenditures reached NT$161.7 billion, up 43% year-over-year.

The cash outflow was primarily driven by AI infrastructure business growth, which increased accounts receivable and inventory levels. The gap between EBITDA of NT$369.2 billion and negative operating cash flow of NT$125.7 billion reflects taxes, interest and working capital changes totaling NT$494.9 billion. Foxconn noted that higher-priced AI server units require upfront funding to support customer component purchases, inventory arrangement and production cycles, with the largest increases in receivables and inventory levels.
