Tax rate, EPS & Cash flow

The reduction of the IFRS effective tax rate from Q1 to Q2 mainly resulted from the increase in profit before taxes.

The significant increase in free cash flow was mainly driven by the strong expansion of operating profit and a reduction of payments for, amongst others, share-based compensation, capex and leasing.
