Discussion and Analysis of the Concise Consolidated Cash Flow Statement

The Cash Flow Statement showed an increase in cash as defined by Accounting Standards.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,861 million, an increase on the previous year, reflecting a higher net funding requirement for client loans.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,856 million, as TCorp maintained higher liquidity levels during a period of market disruption.

Net cash from financing activities was $4,745 million, an increase on the previous year, and arose from increased benchmark borrowings and promissory note issuances over the year to fund the increase in securities held and New South Wales Government client loans.
