6.1 Net debt
(1) 50% of outstanding preferred shares of $4,004 million in 2019 and 2018 are classified as debt consistent with the treatment by some credit rating agencies.
The increase of $1,891 million in total debt, comprised of debt due within one year and long-term debt, was due to: • an increase in our lease liabilities of $2,304 million as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019 • the issuance by Bell Canada of Series M-49 and Series M-50 MTN debentures with total principal amounts of $600  million and $550 million in Canadian dollars, respectively, and Series US-2 Notes with a total principal amount of $600 million in U.S. dollars ($808 million in Canadian dollars) • an increase in our securitized trade receivables of $131 million
Partly offset by: • the early redemption of Series M-27 MTN debentures and Series M-37 debentures with total principal amounts of $1 billion and $400 million, respectively • a decrease in our notes payable (net of issuances) of $1,073 million • a net decrease of $29 million in our lease liabilities and other debt
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $280 million was due mainly to: • $2,819 million of dividends paid on BCE common shares • $1,216 million of debt repayments (net of issuances) • $142 million paid for the purchase on the open market of BCE common shares for the settlement of share-based payments • $60 million acquisition and other costs paid
Partly offset by: • $3,818 million of free cash flow • $240 million issuance of common shares from the exercise of stock options

3 .
change in accounting principle effective january 1 , 2014 , the company changed its method of accounting for certain intellectual property litigation expenses related to the defense and enforcement of its issued patents .
previously , the company capitalized these legal costs if a favorable outcome in the patent defense was determined to be probable , and amortized the capitalized legal costs over the life of the related patent .
as of december 31 , 2013 , the company had remaining unamortized capitalized legal costs of $ 23.7 million , which , under the previous accounting method , would have been amortized through 2021 .
under the new method of accounting , these legal costs are expensed in the period they are incurred .
the company has retrospectively adjusted the comparative financial statements of prior periods to apply this new method of accounting .
the company believes this change in accounting principle is preferable because ( 1 ) as more competitors enter the company 2019s key product markets and the threat of complex intellectual property litigation across multiple jurisdictions increases , it will become more difficult for the company to accurately assess the probability of a favorable outcome in such litigation , and ( 2 ) it will enhance the comparability of the company 2019s financial results with those of its peer group because it is the predominant accounting practice in the company 2019s industry .
the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been adjusted to reflect the impact of this change retrospectively to all prior periods presented .
the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle was a decrease in retained earnings of $ 10.5 million as of january 1 , 2012 .

These policies are reviewed and approved by our board of directors and stockholders’ meeting. Our treasury operations are subject to internal audit on a regular basis. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculatively purposes.

As of the same date, we also had Japanese Yen-denominated accounts receivable of ¥14,266 million attributable to our Japanese operations and Renminbi-denominated accounts receivable of RMB¥710 million attributable to our China operations. We had U.S. dollar-, Japanese Yen- and Renminbi-denominated accounts payables of US$128 million, ¥7,193 million and RMB¥262 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.

Revenue
Both reported and adjusted revenue fell by 1% as growth in our Consumer business, was more than offset by regulated price reductions in Openreach and declines in our enterprise businesses in particular in fixed voice and also reflecting our strategy to reduce low margin activity such as equipment sales. Excluding the negative impact of £35m from foreign exchange movements, underlying revenue fell 0.9% (2017/18: fell 1%), which exceeds our expectation of down around 2%.
You can find details of revenue by customer-facing unit on pages 40 to 41. Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements shows a full breakdown of reported revenue by all our major product and service categories.
Operating costs
Reported operating costs were down 2% and adjustedb operating costs before depreciation and amortisation were down 1%. This was mainly driven by restructuring related cost savings and lower payments to telecommunications operators driven by Global Services strategy to de-emphasise low margin business, partly offset by higher costs of recruiting and training engineers to support Openreach’s ‘Fibre First’ programme and help deliver improved customer service.
Our cost transformation programme remains on track. c4,000 roles were removed in the year, with the largest elements being in Global Services and our Corporate Units. Overall savings from the programme are currently an annualised benefit of £875m with an associated cost of £386m. Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements shows a detailed breakdown of our operating costs.
