German term or phrase: über die Laufzeit

This car manufacturer is having to sell more to corporates now than to private individuals and this is impacting its free cashflow:

Firmenkunden verlangen aber nicht nur günstige Konditionen sondern häufig auch Full-Service-Leasingangebote, die erst **über die Laufzeit*** der Verträge zu positivem Free-Cashflow führen.

Positive free cashflow is not generated until the end of the contracts? or only generates free cashflow during the contract term?
