Operat<strong>in</strong>g capital (exclud<strong>in</strong>g cash and cash equivalents<br />
and current liabilities) stood at €621 million as at<br />
31 December <strong>2011</strong> (year-end 2010: €311 million). The<br />
<strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> operat<strong>in</strong>g capital <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong> was partly due to<br />
one-<strong>of</strong>f factors, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g a number <strong>of</strong> milestone<br />
payments for PPP contracts <strong>in</strong> 2012, and partly due to <strong>the</strong><br />
classification <strong>of</strong> assets held for sale (PPP projects to be<br />
transferred to <strong>the</strong> jo<strong>in</strong>t venture with PGGM and cessation<br />
<strong>of</strong> activities (Tebod<strong>in</strong>)). The total effect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se one-<strong>of</strong>f<br />
factors on <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> operat<strong>in</strong>g capital amounted to<br />
approximately €160 million.<br />
The Group’s shareholders’ equity stood at €1,162 million<br />
as at 31 December <strong>2011</strong>, hav<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>creased compared to<br />
<strong>the</strong> position at year-end 2010 (€1,100 million). The<br />
pr<strong>in</strong>cipal changes <strong>in</strong> shareholders’ equity are <strong>the</strong> net<br />
result for <strong>2011</strong> (€126 million) and <strong>the</strong> negative effect <strong>of</strong><br />
hedge account<strong>in</strong>g (a loss <strong>of</strong> €73 million). The dividend<br />
distribution for 2010 and exchange rate <strong>in</strong>creases had a<br />
limited effect.<br />
Apart from <strong>the</strong> aforementioned shareholders’ equity, <strong>the</strong><br />
capital base only comprises <strong>the</strong> subord<strong>in</strong>ated loan, which<br />
did not change <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong>. The preference shares (€1.7<br />
million) were all converted <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong> or repurchased. As a<br />
result, <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> capital base was virtually <strong>the</strong><br />
same as <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> shareholders’ equity.<br />
Solvency based on <strong>the</strong> capital base stood at 18.9 percent<br />
as at 31 December <strong>2011</strong>, which is higher than <strong>the</strong> position<br />
at year-end 2010 (18.2 percent). Solvency exclud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
public-private partnerships <strong>in</strong>creased as well, stand<strong>in</strong>g at<br />
21.9 percent as at 31 December <strong>2011</strong> (year-end 2010:<br />
21.0 percent).<br />
Recourse solvency, <strong>the</strong> ratio <strong>in</strong> accordance with <strong>the</strong> bank<br />
covenants, also <strong>in</strong>creased to reach 25.7 percent as at<br />
31 December <strong>2011</strong> (year-end 2010: 23.8 percent), which<br />
is well above <strong>the</strong> lower limit <strong>of</strong> 15 percent.<br />
Development <strong>of</strong> (o<strong>the</strong>r) balance sheet positions<br />
Various balance sheet positions were <strong>in</strong>fluenced as at<br />
31 December <strong>2011</strong> by <strong>the</strong> classification ‘held for sale’ <strong>of</strong><br />
several PPP projects to be transferred to <strong>the</strong> jo<strong>in</strong>t venture<br />
with PGGM, and by <strong>the</strong> sale <strong>of</strong> Tebod<strong>in</strong>.<br />
The book value <strong>of</strong> property, plant and equipment fell<br />
slightly to €374 million (2010: €409 million). In <strong>2011</strong>, net<br />
<strong>in</strong>vestment amounted to €57 million (2010: €68 million)<br />
and depreciation amounted to €95 million (2010: €97<br />
million).<br />
The book value <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>tangible assets was €734 million<br />
at year-end <strong>2011</strong> (2010: €850 million). The decrease was<br />
almost entirely due to <strong>the</strong> aforementioned<br />
reclassification as ‘assets held for sale’ <strong>of</strong> both PPP<br />
concessions and <strong>the</strong> goodwill relat<strong>in</strong>g to Tebod<strong>in</strong>.<br />
The total PPP receivables <strong>in</strong>creased <strong>in</strong> <strong>2011</strong> to €879<br />
million (year-end 2010: €765 million). The <strong>in</strong>crease<br />
primarily reflects <strong>the</strong> progress <strong>of</strong> current PPP activities<br />
(new loans granted m<strong>in</strong>us repayments), <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g a net<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> €403 million (2010: €241 million). On <strong>the</strong><br />
o<strong>the</strong>r hand, <strong>the</strong>re are decreases result<strong>in</strong>g from <strong>the</strong><br />
transfer <strong>of</strong> three projects to <strong>the</strong> jo<strong>in</strong>t venture with PGGM<br />
<strong>in</strong> December <strong>2011</strong> (€213 million), and receivables worth<br />
€78 million were classified as assets held for sale.<br />
The total <strong>in</strong>tangible and f<strong>in</strong>ancial PPP assets (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> short-term component) amounted to €1,063 million<br />
as at year-end <strong>2011</strong> (2010: €1,019 million). The related<br />
(non-)recourse PPP loans <strong>in</strong>creased by a comparable<br />
amount and stood at €991 million as at 31 December<br />
<strong>2011</strong> (year-end 2010: €942 million). Therefore <strong>the</strong> net<br />
position as at 31 December <strong>2011</strong> was €72 million<br />
(year-end 2010: €77 million). In addition, a net<br />
<strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>of</strong> €16 million was made with regard to o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
assets and liabilities <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>se SPVs and non-consolidated<br />
associates (year-end 2010: €27 million). The Group’s total<br />
net <strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>in</strong> public-private partnerships was<br />
<strong>the</strong>refore €88 million (year-end 2010: €104 million).
