In 2019, they included the acquisitions (see Note 2.1) of SAB, Sopra Financial Technology GmbH and NeoSpheres, as well as earn-outs on prior acquisitions, Apak and O.R. System. Conversely, the disposal of Sopra Steria Recruitment Ltd had a positive impact of €8.7 million. In 2018, acquisitions mainly comprised BLUECARAT and it-economics in Germany, and Apak and O.R. System by Sopra Banking Software.
Lastly, as the Group did not offer an employee share ownership programme in 2019, outflows related to the purchase and resale of treasury shares improved substantially. In 2018, the We Share employee share ownership programme involved the acquisition on the market of Sopra Steria Group shares for €22.3 million to satisfy plan requirements. As a result of these effects, net financial debt at 31 December 2019 decreased to €513.9 million, compared with €620.9 million at 31 December 2018.
