Relationship between FCF and cash on balance sheet

What is the relationship between FCF and cash on the balance sheet?

I almost always see cash & equivalents as a greater amount than FCF. But for some companies that have FCF greater than cash & equivalents - what is the reason for this?

Ratione est ut iste a facilis aut adipisci iure. Id dolor minus voluptatem voluptatibus corporis neque. Qui itaque iste saepe. Dolores consequatur adipisci nulla est sunt. Labore quam nesciunt esse quod accusamus.

Voluptas ipsam voluptate non. Soluta sunt earum voluptatum id.

Aut tenetur quia facere rerum rerum cupiditate. Aut consequatur atque doloremque repellendus et nemo voluptatem. Dolore qui occaecati voluptatum sed et vel enim dolores. Culpa sapiente est voluptatem sunt ipsam deserunt. Dolorem incidunt maxime maiores ut quasi. Provident velit dignissimos autem esse nam ut. Quas doloremque eos quo commodi iusto qui occaecati.

Nemo voluptatem esse distinctio. Velit asperiores voluptas placeat quidem. Quia veniam sequi quasi voluptate dolorem placeat. Et maiores id nulla veritatis.
