Consolidated statement of cash flows (XLS:) Download millions of € Q2 2020 Q2 2019 H1 2020 H1 2019 FY 2019 a The payments and proceeds shown here relate to those investments in the broadband build-out that are publicly financed in full. Since the payments are not made at the same point in time as the proceeds are received, the net amounts can be positive or negative in the individual periods. These investments are not included in the operational KPIs “Cash capex” and “Free cash flow,” because the payments made do not result in additions to property, plant and equipment. For further information on the change in estimates in the second half of 2019 for publicly funded investments in the broadband build-out, please refer to the section “Changes in accounting policies, changes in estimates” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2019 Annual Report.
