To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio according to S&P methodology, I’ll follow these steps: 1. **Calculate EBITDA** From the income statement: - Profit from operating activities (EBIT) = 239,721,000 EUR - Depreciation and amortization = 249,276,000 EUR - Impairment losses/reversals in operating profit = 1,437,000 EUR (this is a reversal, so it reduces expenses—typically excluded when adding back to EBIT, but here it’s small and likely part of EBITDA calculation; I’ll add back impairment loss if it was positive in the expense, but it’s recorded as income, so no add-back needed). EBITDA = EBIT + Depreciation & Amortization EBITDA = 239,721,000 + 249,276,000 = 489,000,000 EUR (approx.) 2. **Calculate Net Debt (S&P methodology)** Net debt = Short-term borrowings + Long-term borrowings – Cash and cash equivalents + Adjustments for derivatives and other debt-like items. - Current borrowings = 638,944,000 EUR - Non-current borrowings = 1,695,362,000 EUR - Cash and cash equivalents = 365,292,000 EUR - S&P typically includes non-current derivative liabilities as debt and subtracts non-current derivative assets only if highly liquid; but for simplification, we add derivative liabilities and subtract derivative assets: Non-current derivative liabilities = 73,464,000 EUR Non-current derivative assets = 80,564,000 EUR Current derivative liabilities are zero; current derivative assets = 236,000 EUR (small). - Also, S&P sometimes adds pension deficits and other long-term provisions, but here we stick to the main debt items. Net Debt = (638,944,000 + 1,695,362,000) – 365,292,000 + 73,464,000 – 80,564,000 – 236,000 Net Debt = 2,334,306,000 – 365,292,000 – 7,336,000 = 1,961,678,000 EUR 3. **Ratio** Net Debt / EBITDA = 1,961,678,000 / 489,000,000 ≈ 4.01 4.01
