Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $40 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher cash generating operating income, partially offset by unfavourable changes in working capital and other operating activities.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $131 million in 2025 compared to 2024. The decrease was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of an equity investment of $493 million, partially offset by higher capital additions and transaction costs paid on the sale of an equity investment.
