Net working capital inflow of R333 million primarily due to the realisation of inventory and trade receivables.

The cash outflow on vehicles for hire increased by R795 million due to the Import and Distribution segment investing in increased car rental units during the year.

The net cash outflow on acquisition of businesses of R561 million relates mainly to the dealerships acquired in the UK and Australia, and businesses in the Aftermarket Parts segment.

The final dividend for the 2019 financial year was paid to shareholders amounting to R490 million. The interim dividend for 2020 was cancelled to bolster the solvency and liquidity of the Group.

Debt decreased by R537 million in the statement of cash flows, with debt increasing by R3 482 million in the statement of financial position. The year-on-year increase of R3 482 million was primarily due to the application of IFRS 16, which resulted in recognising lease liabilities amounting to R2 658 million and increased debt of R824 million.

Non-cash items amounting to R4 019 million were largely attributable to the application of IFRS 16 which required an additional R2 389 million in interest-bearing debt to be raised on the balance sheet for a day 1 adjustment. Refer to the reconciliation provided below:
