Free cash flow came to 264.4 million (203.5 million in 2020). It reflected a slight improvement in the cash conversion rate with respect to Operating profit on business activity compared with the previous financial year. This performance was mainly due to a significant improvement in Operating profit on business activity and EBITDA following a sharp decline in non-recurring costs. Outflows related to acquisitions of companies, recognised within Impact of changes in scope , were stable, totalling 102.3 million. Those that took place in 2021 (primarily EVA Group, EGGS Design and Labs) are described in Note 2.1. They also included the exercise of the put option for Tecfit shares (see Note 2.2).
