financial year from current operating, investing and financing<br />

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 />
