Free cash ow is considered to be an indicator of how much
cash is available to the company for dividend payments or the
repay ment of debt.
Free cash ow improved from –, million in the previous
year to , million in the year under review. is is primarily
attributable to the improvement in operating cash ow, which
had been exceptionally and signicantly reduced in the previous
year by the funding of pension obligations and the additional 
payment.
. Net cash used in financing activities
Financing activities led to a cash outow of  million in
the year under review, compared with a cash inow of , mil-
lion in the previous year.
Two bonds with maturities of ve and ten years contributed
 million each to the , million in proceeds from the issu-
ance of non-current nancial liabilities. In the previous year, the
issue of conventional corporate bonds and a convertible bond in
particular had contributed to proceeds of , million. In addi-
tion,  million was used to repay non-current nancial liabilites
in the previous year.
At  million, the dividend payment to the share holders of
Deutsche Post  remained at the prior-year level and was again
the largest payment in nancing activities. However, interest pay-
ments were down  million year-on-year, at  million, due
to the interest payment related to the additional  payment in
the previous year.
Proceeds from issuing shares or other equity instruments
declined by  million to  million. e prior-year gure in-
cluded the equity component of the convertible bond.
. Cash and cash equivalents
e cash inows and outows described above produced
cash and cash equivalents of , million; Note . is repre-
sents a year-on-year increase of , million.
