Is. The results of estimating the first model confirm the significant relationship between the criteria for measuring the profitability performance of manufacturing companies based on the economic approach of investors with the total flow of free and operating cash. On the other hand, the analysis of the second model of the research showed that there is a significant relationship between the criteria for measuring the profitability performance of manufacturing companies based on the integrated approach of investors with the total flow of free and operational cash. Also, the third hypothesis of the research, which states that there is a significant relationship between the criteria for measuring the profitability performance of manufacturing companies based on investors' accounting approach with the total flow of free and operational cash, was confirmed after estimating the third model of the research. Finally, suggestions for improving the financial performance of selected manufacturing companies were presented based on the results.
