Free Cash Flow
Building and sustaining a strong balance sheet
Free Cash Flow was €216 million in Q3, an increase Y/Y
as a result of higher Net Income adjusted for non-cash
items which was partially offset by reduced favorability in
net working capital. Additionally, capital expenditures
declined €4 million Y/Y to €1 million as a result of the
completion of office build-outs.
While the magnitude of Free Cash Flow can fluctuate
from quarter to quarter based on seasonality and timing,
we have averaged approximately €200 million of positive
Free Cash Flow on a trailing 12 month basis for the past
three years. On a cumulative basis, we have generated
€1.6 billion of Free Cash Flow since the beginning of
2016, supporting our strong balance sheet and €3.8
billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and
short term investments balance.
