  Receivables, net $455 $506 -$51 33 36 -3
  Inventories, net $397 $439 -$42 46 49 -3

  Average WC (2) $119 $201 -$82  
  Average WC % net sales (4) 2.2 % 3.7 %

Receivables: Decrease driven primarily by increased collections and the impact from foreign exchange rates.

Inventories: Decrease primarily driven by higher sales in the Charcoal business and the write-off of inventory resulting from Clorox Venezuela’s discontinued operations.

(2)   Working capital (WC) is defined in this context as current assets minus current liabilities excluding cash and short-term debt, based on end of period balances. Average working capital represents a two-point average of working capital.
(3)   Represents working capital at the end of the period divided by annualized net sales (current quarter net sales x 4).
(4)   Represents a two-point average of working capital divided by annualized net sales (current quarter net sales x 4).
(5)   Days calculations based on a two-point average.

      2015       2014
Net cash provided by continuing operations – GAAP $234 $184
Less: Capital expenditures 29 27
Free cash flow – non-GAAP (1) $205 $157
       Free cash flow as a percent of sales – non-GAAP (1)   15.2%   11.7%
Net sales $1,352 $1,343

(1)         In accordance with the SEC's Regulation G, this schedule provides the definition of certain non-GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure. Management uses free cash flow and free cash flow as a percent of sales to help assess the cash generation ability of the business and funds available for investing activities, such as acquisitions, investing in the business to drive growth, and financing activities, including debt payments, dividend payments and share repurchases. Free cash flow does not represent cash available only for discretionary expenditures, since the Company has mandatory debt service requirements and other contractual and non-discretionary expenditures. In addition, free cash flow may not be the same as similar measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation and items being excluded.
