Free cash flow declined year-on-year by CHF 390 million to CHF 914 million, mainly due to lower operating free cash flow. Operating free cash flow declined by CHF 357 million to CHF 1,315 million, fuelled by lower operating income before depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) as well as the higher net working capital. Net working capital increased by CHF 341 million compared to the end of 2017, mainly as a result of seasonal effects on trade payablesas well as accruals for prepaid expenses for the financial year. In the second quarter of 2017, the Swisscom pension fund (comPlan) received a one-time payment of CHF 50 million as a result of the regulatory changes communicated in October 2016. Capital expenditure increased year-on-year by CHF 34 million or 2.1% to CHF 1,621 million.

In the first quarter of 2018, Swisscom issued a debenture bond for CHF 150 million. It has a coupon of 1.0% and matures in 2035. Swisscom issued a further debenture bond for EUR 500 million in the second quarter of 2018 with a coupon of 1.125% and a maturity date in 2026. In addition, short-term bank loans were issued in the third quarter of 2018 to repay a 3.25% debenture bond for CHF 1,385 million upon maturity.
