At , million, current and non-current liabilities were on a par with the
previous year (, million). Financial liabilities decreased by  million to
, million, mainly as a result of the repayment in January of a bond in the amount
of  million. Trade payables, on the other hand, increased signicantly by  mil-
lion to , million. Higher customs and duties, amongst other factors, led to a rise in
other current liabilities from , million to , million. At , million, cur-
rent and non-current provisions were signicantly higher than as at  December 
(, million): a decline in discount rates led in particular to the recognition of addi-
tional provisions for pensions.
Net debt unchanged at , million
As at  December , our net debt of , million was exactly at the prior- year
level. e equity ratio declined from .  in the previous year to .  as at the
reporting date.
e dynamic gearing ratio is an indicator of internal nancing capacity and ex-
presses the average number of years a company would require to pay o its outstanding
debt using the cash ow generated from operating activities. It amounted to . years
in nancial year .
Net interest cover shows the extent to which net interest obligations are covered by
. is indicator declined from . to .. Net gearing expresses the ratio of net
debt to the total of equity and net debt. is amounted to .  at  December .
