3 statement model & valuation - cash flows & valuation increase when revenue growth decreases??

Doing a 3 statement model with DCF attached. When revenue growth is 0, or even -40 or -70% as opposed to 5% or 20% etc - cash flows actually increase? when the business has high revenue growth the cash flows actually go negative! I presume this is due to how I have driven it, any fixes? this seems odd? Or is it ok?

The increase seems to be due to changes in NWC & capex / D&A.

Revenue is driven off pure growth as %. COGS backed into from gross profit margin. SG&A from SG&A margin. NWC is either driven as % sales, or broken out & done as DSO, DPO & Inventory turnover. Capex is % revenue, D&A is % Fixed assets FY-1.

Help please!

5Y cash flows at 5% revenue growth - 1509, 1300, 1023, 770, 543.
5Y cash flows at -5% revenue growth - 2547, 2516, 2392, 2270, 2157.

Cheers all!
