The net cash flow absorbed in 2016 by “Net Operating Activities” was Euro 40,527 thousand (Euro
1,546 thousand in 2015) and concerned:
generation of Euro 44,788 thousand (Euro 26,212 thousand in 2015) from “EBIT”, based on
the difference of the “Value” and the “Costs of Cash Generation” and the remaining ordinary
income
components, excluding financial management;
for a negative Euro 4,260 thousand (Euro 24,665 thousand in 2015) from movements in
“Working Capital Management”. The increase in the value of inventories relates principally
to the subsidiaries Dixon Ticonderoga Company (U.S.A.), Brideshore S.r.l. (Dominican
Republic), Writefine Products PVT LTD (India), Lyra Gmbh & Co. KG (Germany), Daler
Rowney Ltd (UK), Lukas-Nerchau GmbH (Germany) and Canson SAS (France). The above-
stated absorption of cash is offset by the increase in “Trade and Other Payables”, principally
at the US subsidiaries and the Mexican, Indian, French and English subsidiaries operating in
the “Art & Craft” sector, in addition to the parent. This increase principally follows increased
Group purchases in support of higher production volumes and inventories, in addition to
extraordinary consultancy on M&A operations, mainly by the parent.
