The cash outflow for capital expenditures was also lower during the first half of 2010, decreasing by<br />
€ 83 million to € 810 million. Increased gross capital expenditures were more than offset by increasing<br />
investment grants (€ + 184 million), that, in particular, resulted from the economic stimulus programs.<br />
The cash flow from financing activities increased slightly by € 48 million to € 746 million. The<br />
reason for this is the increased utilization of our commercial paper program (€ + 1.5 billion) and the net<br />
redemption of bond debt (€ – 0.5 billion) after having issued a corporate bond (€ 1.0 billion) in the first<br />
half of 2009. Additionally, the payments for redemption of Federal loans increased slightly.<br />
As of June 30, 2010, DB Group had a higher amount of cash and cash equivalents available than it<br />
did on December 31, 2009 as this figure increased by € 536 million to € 2,747 million. This increase stems<br />
from anticipated financial obligations resulting from the acquisition of Arriva.<br />

infrastructure projects.<br />
Financial debt increased during the period under review by € 1,138 million to € 17,648 million. This<br />
increase mainly stems from the utilization of our commercial paper program amounting to € 1,480 million<br />
(as of December 31, 2009: no utilization). Federal loans decreased by € 424 million. In the period under<br />
review we received € 200 million as a loan from EUROFIMA.<br />
Financial debt excluding Federal loans increased by € 1,562 million to € 14,796 million (as of<br />
December 31, 2009: € 13,234 million).<br />
The amount of cash and cash equivalents increased by € 1,277 million as a result of the positive<br />
business development and as a result of the issuance of short term debt in anticipation of the acquisition<br />
of Arriva. As the increase in cash and cash equivalents was higher than the increase in financial debt,<br />
net financial debt decreased by € 151 million to € 14,860 million.
