Operating cash did not cover net investing outflow
Operating activities generated CNY 3,862,006,789.83 of net cash, while investing activities used a net CNY 5,517,097,259.84. Financing activities provided net cash of CNY 1,163,001,540.42. Management attributes stronger operating cash to customer cash receipts, the larger investing outflow to payments for fixed-asset investment, and financing cash to increased borrowing and fewer repayments of maturing loans. These are net cash-flow categories: investing outflow is not gross plant capital expenditure, and financing inflow is not the closing debt balance. They provide funding context for simultaneous projects without allocating spending or cash generation to an individual base.
