I assume it is above the line, but just broken out so it will be in EBT and be taxed. The cash flow starts with Net Income so the legal settlement is already included (essentially in operating cash flow). Remember it only appears on the cash flow when the cash comes in. If the company wins suit and doesn't get paid right away then the settlement would actually be "subtracted back" to back out the effect shown on the income statement.
