For 2010, cash generated by operating activities was €6.1 billion, of which €2.5 billion related to Discontinued
Operations.
Of the approximately €3.6 billion in cash generated by Continuing Operations during the year, €2.6 billion was from
income-related inflows (calculated as net profit plus amortization and depreciation, dividends, changes in provisions
and various items related to sales with buy-back commitments and operating leases, net of gains/losses on disposals
and other non-cash items) with approximately €1 billion resulting from a decrease in working capital (calculated on a
comparable scope of operations and at constant exchange rates).
For Discontinued Operations, in addition to the approximate €1.5 billion in income-related inflows, approximately €1
billion was generated from a decrease in working capital.
Cash used in investing activities totaled nearly €4 billion. In addition to the approximately €0.5 billion used in
investing activities relating to Discontinued Operations, cash used in investing activities for Continuing Operations
totaled €3.5 billion and consisted of:
� Expenditure on tangible and intangible assets (including €886 million in capitalized development costs) totaled
€2,864 million.
� Investments in subsidiaries and associates, totaling €283 million, mainly related to capitalization of the 50/50 joint
venture GAC Fiat Automobiles Co. Ltd. (China), and the 50/50 joint venture Fiat India Automobiles Private Limited
(India); the acquisition of 50% of Fiat-GM Powertrain Polska and 100% of TCA - Tecnologia em Componentes
Automotivos SA (Pernambuco state, Brazil); and the exercise of a call option held by Fiat on 5% of the share
capital of Ferrari, in relation to which a financial payable of an equivalent amount was recognized.
� Proceeds from the sale of non-current assets totaled €57 million and related to tangible and intangible assets.
� The €594 million increase in receivables from financing activities related to FGA's financial services companies
outside Europe.
Cash used in investing activities for Discontinued Operations totaled approximately €0.5 billion and primarily related to
the approximately €0.9 billion in investments (including equity investments), less approximately €0.4 billion in cash
generated through the decrease in receivables from financing activities.
Cash from financing activities totaled approximately €0.9 billion. Continuing Operations used approximately €1.2
billion in cash: €1 billion for redemption of a bond at maturity and dividend payments of €239 million were only partly
offset by cash from new borrowings.
Discontinued Operations, on the other hand, generated approximately €2.1 billion. Cash inflows related to a USD 1.5
billion bond issued by Case New Holland Inc., an increase in asset-backed financing and a net increase in other
financing, which were only partially offset by early repayment of a USD 500 million bond, by CNH, that was originally
scheduled for repayment on 1 March 2014.
