The cash flow absorbed by operating activities during the first half of <strong>2009</strong> was 31.5 million<br />

euro (absorbed 164.3 million euro).<br />

The absorption of cash flow was much lower than in the first half of 2008, despite the<br />

reduction in gross operating profit (EBITDA). This improvement in cash flows was mainly due<br />

to the management of net working capital. In particular, aside from the lower volume of<br />

sales, the reduction in trade receivables was also due to the sale without recourse of trade<br />

receivables totalling 54.3 million euro.<br />

Capital expenditure net of the proceeds from asset disposals diminished significantly,<br />

consistency with the policy announced by the Group, and amounted to 18.5 million euro<br />

(44.4 million euro).<br />

Lastly, no dividends were paid during the first half of <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

The free cash flow 5 generated during the first half of <strong>2009</strong> was therefore negative by 50.2<br />

million euro (261.3 million euro), resulting in an increase in net borrowings of the same<br />

amount since 31 December 2008.<br />

Cash flow from investing activities are different.<br />

5 Free Cash Flow: the cash flow from/for operating and investing activities, net of dividend payments<br />

and capital increases.<br />
