cash flow from current operations
Kassaflöde is definitely cash flow.
"Den löpande verksamhet" should be current operations - without the definite article.
This is supported by the following example:
Cash flow from current operations, that is before strategic capital investments and dividends,
amounted to SEK 6,740 M (3,876), equal to SEK 31.45 (18.46) per share. Accordingly, SCA
clearly exceeded the established cash flow targets.

revenue from ordinary activities
If it is an annual report, then should be revenue from ordinary activities (although the terms used differ from country to country).

revenue from current business......
Revenue is a better choice of words as a pose to cash flow. Cash flow is correct as a direct translation but revenue is more suited to a bus/financial text.
