Balance Sheet
Content
Total assets decreased by €3.0 billion to €30.8 billion compared to 31/12/2008. This is, in comparison to the 2008 year-end closing, mainly due to the decrease in cash and cash equivalents typical for Q1, as well as from translation effects from weaker currencies, especially in Eastern Europe.
As at the end of September 2009, METRO Group’s balance sheet disclosed €5.6 billion equity. The year-to-date equity ratio increased from 18.0% to 18.3%.
Net debt, after netting cash and cash equivalents, as well as bank deposits, with financial liabilities (including finance leases), totalled €8.0 billion compared to €4.6 billion as at 31/12/2008. This increase in net debt against the prior year-end closing is characteristic and resulted mainly from the reduction in trade payables of €3.8 billion. The reason behind this reduction lies in the high share of sales Q4 contributes to the full year, which regularly corresponds to high trade payables at the year-end closing. Compared to 30 September 2008, net debt remained unchanged.
