Here’s the reasoning for the calculation of **Net Debt / EBITDA for 2022** according to the S&P methodology. --- **1. EBITDA Calculation** S&P defines EBITDA as operating profit before depreciation, amortization, and impairment. From the data: - *Profit Loss From Operating Activities* (2022): **1,334,000,000 EUR** - *Dotacion Amortizacion Y Variacion De Provisiones* (2022): **762,000,000 EUR** - *Impairment Loss Reversal* (2022): **-15,000,000 EUR** (this already reduces costs, so to get EBITDA we add back the net depreciation/amortization/provisions including impairment movements). EBITDA = 1,334 + 762 = **2,096,000,000 EUR** (Note: “Dotacion…” already includes the impairment effect since it’s a net figure in Spanish reporting.) --- **2. Net Debt Calculation** S&P defines net debt as: Short-term debt + Long-term debt + Lease liabilities – Cash and cash equivalents. From the balance sheet at 2022-12-31: - *Current loans and current portion of noncurrent loans*: **553,000,000 EUR** - *Current lease liabilities*: **72,000,000 EUR** - *Participaciones Preferentes Obligaciones Y Otros Valores Negociables Corrientes*: **1,139,000,000 EUR** - *Noncurrent loans*: **2,624,000,000 EUR** - *Noncurrent lease liabilities*: **439,000,000 EUR** - *Noncurrent bonds/debt securities*: **3,101,000,000 EUR** - Cash & equivalents: **2,360,000,000 EUR** Total debt = 553 + 72 + 1,139 + 2,624 + 439 + 3,101 = **7,928,000,000 EUR** Net Debt = 7,928 – 2,360 = **5,568,000,000 EUR** --- **3. Ratio** Net Debt / EBITDA = 5,568 / 2,096 ≈ **2.66** --- 2.66
