Trade Receivables increased by

to the sustained growth of the

In the medium term NWC is

expected to expand due to

continuing growth in the Credit

Management division

Trade Payables increased by

€8.6m, also due to €2.6m trade

payables related to the new

Cerved HQ

Deferred Revenues increased

by €3.2m due to increased sales

of prepaid points and the

consolidation of Fox & Parker

Operating Cash Flow is adjusted

for €4.8m capex for the new HQ

the underlying growth in EBITDA,

with a minor absorption from

increased by €1.9m reflecting
