Effect of capitalizing an asset on financing cash flow?? produces, financing, investment, understand, net

jawz

I understand that capitalizing vs. expensing an asset produces:

- higher CFO (because expensing outweighs the depreciation expense)
- higher net income (because of lower depreciation)
- lower CFI (because of higher investment cost in assets)
- higher assets
- higher equity
- higher ROE and ROA (because of higher net income)

But somewhere in my notes I wrote that capitalizing produces lower CFF as well ("because depreciation is a negative CFF"), which I now have trouble verifying. Is this a special case? In general, depreciation would be a negative CFO.

Any help appreciated.
