To estimate the Moody’s adjusted leverage trend, we evaluate the evolution of the company's financial profile between 2021 and 2022. 1. **Operating Profitability (EBITDA):** The profit from operating activities before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased from 24,296,000,000 DKK in 2021 to 32,057,000,000 DKK in 2022, indicating a strong improvement in underlying operational performance. 2. **Debt Profile:** We look at "Longterm Borrowings" and "Shortterm Borrowings." Total reported borrowings (Longterm + Shortterm) shifted from 50,995,000,000 DKK (31,502 + 19,493) in 2021 to 63,281,000,000 DKK (60,451 + 2,830) in 2022. While debt increased, the debt-to-EBITDA ratio shows a manageable trajectory when accounting for the significant growth in EBITDA. 3. **Cash Flow and Collateral:** The company experienced high cash outflows due to collateral posting in 2022 (48,885,000,000 DKK), which is a common volatility factor in energy trading, but this is often offset by the release of collateral and high liquidity management. The "Cash" position improved significantly, rising from 8,624,000,000 DKK to 16,178,000,000 DKK. 4. **Leverage Trend:** While debt increased, the company's ability to generate operating profit outpaced the relative growth in debt, and the balance sheet remains well-capitalized with equity growing from 85,137,000,000 DKK to 95,532,000,000 DKK. Given the robust growth in core profitability (EBITDA) relative to the debt increase, and the strong cash position maintained despite market volatility, the company's credit metrics (leverage) show an improving trend.
