CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash flow
related to
operating activities went from -442 million euros in 2015
to -595 million euros in 2016. This change is due to the decrease in cash provided
by operations associated with the increase in interest paid.
CASH RELATED TO INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Net cash flow from investing activities totaled 25 million euros in 2016, compared
with -64 million euros in 2015.
CASH RELATED TO FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Net cash flow from financing activities totaled 1.207 billion euros in 2016, compared
with -758 million euros in 2015. This change is explained in particular by the draws
on bilateral lines of credit and the RCF on January 5 and 6, 2016 in the total amount
of 2.045 billion euros.

CASH FLOWS RELATED TO END-OF-LIFECYCLE
OPERATIONS
The majority of end-of-lifecycle operations concern operations included in the
consolidation scope of New AREVA Holding (Mining, Chemistry-Enrichment, Back
End) and to a lesser extent that of AREVA NP. At December 31, 2016, the flows
relating to these operations were recognized on specific lines of the statement of
income, the statement of cash flows and the statement of financial position devoted
to “operations sold, discontinued or held for sale”.
In 2016, the flows related to the end-of-lifecycle operations of operations “sold,
discontinued or held for sale” amounted to -33 million euros (see 9.2.2).
