activities. In addition, it shows the cash positions at the<br />

Capital structure<br />
At the end of 2010, <strong>METRO</strong> GROUP’s balance sheet showed<br />
equity of €6,460 million compared with €5,992 million in the<br />
previous year. Revenue reserves rose by €554 million.<br />
Taking the dividend payment for 2009 (€386 million) and the<br />
contribution of period income attributable to shareholders<br />
of <strong>METRO</strong> AG (€850 million) into consideration, this rise<br />
essentially derived from currency translation differences<br />
that strengthened revenue reserves. The equity ratio rose<br />
by 0.4 percentage points to 18.4 percent. The share of revenue<br />
reserves in equity totalled 45.3 percent compared with<br />
39.6 percent in the previous year.<br />
