Free cash ow improved signicantly year-on-year from –, million to
, million. In the fourth quarter, it changed from –, million in the comparable
prior-year period to , million.
Net cash used in nancing activities amounted to  million in the year under
review, compared with a net cash inow of , million in the previous year. As in
, the dividend paid to our shareholders was the largest payment in this area, at
 million. e cash inow from the issuance of non-current nancial liabilities
declined by , million to , million, mainly because we issued new bonds and
a convertible bond to fund our pension obligations in the previous year. In the reporting
year, the issue of two bonds with a ve-year and ten-year term resulted in a cash inow
of  million for each bond. Interest payments fell by  million to  million,
primarily because interest of  million had been incurred in the previous year for
the additional  payment.
Cash and cash equivalents rose from , million as at  December  to
, million, due to the changes in the cash ows from the individual areas of activity.
