In figures, this is reflected in a rise of 4.8% in Group sales to EUR 42.4 million (2014: EUR 40.5 million). Despite some revenue shifts in the fourth quarter, the Automotive Technology segment grew sales revenues 25.2% to EUR 35.0 million (2014: EUR 28.0 million). In the Industrial Electronics segment, by contrast, sales revenues declined by 40.9% to EUR 7.4 million (2014: EUR 12.5 million). The Automotive Technology segment therefore increased its share of Group sales further to 82.5% (2014: 69.1%). The operating cash flow totalled EUR 2.6 million in 2015 (2014: EUR 3.1 million). As a consequence of investments, especially in extending the production facilities and in intangible assets, the cash outflow for investing activities was EUR 9.0 million (2014: EUR 6.2 million). The cash inflow from financing activities was EUR 0.3 million (2014: EUR 1.4 million). Overall, there was a cash outflow of EUR 6.1 million in the reporting period (2014: outflow of EUR 1.6 million).
