Non-cash Expense

Non-cash expenses are costs that don’t involve actual cash outflows during the period. Common examples include depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation. These are recorded to reflect the usage or value decline of assets, and while they reduce net income, they don’t impact a company’s cash flow.
