Net Cash Flow is the summation of Operating, Investing and Financing Cash Flows.
A business with negative Net Cash Flows over long periods of time will eventually go bankrupt, as more cash is leaving the company regularly, rather than entering its coffers for later use.
Operating Cash Flow takes the Income Statement, includes some accounting calculations for depreciation and compensation as shares, as well as a few other things, to give you an idea of where cash is moving within company operations.
Investing Cash Flow takes into account money that the company invests back into itself, including Capital Expenditures and some other values.
Financing Cash Flow deals with debt and share issuance or buybacks, as well as dividends paid.
