I was a little confused by that. I think all the signs are the
opposite of what you would expect. It's not laid out as:

Cash at beginning of period
-Cash spent
+Cash received
=Cash at end of period

It's starting with net income and reconciling that with cash flow.
Depreciation is positive because it has a negative affect on income
but no affect on cash flow (it doesn't involve cash), so has to be
added back on to get from net income to net cash flow.
