Cash flow
Statkraft has a good cash flow from the operational activities, but this has to a large degree been eaten up by higher dividends to the owner.
In 2009, the cash flow from the operations fell by 21 per cent, which is consistent with the underlying profit trend. The cash flow in 2009 was influenced by relatively large dividend disbursements in connection with the result for 2008. These exceeded the cash flow from the operations in 2009. In addition, net investments were relatively higher than in earlier years. Statkraft was active in the credit markets and raised new loans corresponding to NOK 15 377 million in 2009, while repayment of debt amounted to NOK 9378 million.
