Here’s the reasoning step by step. --- **1. Identify EBITDA** From the data: - "Gross Profit" for 2022 = 1,305,021,000 EUR In Italian reporting, “Margine Operativo Lordo” (MOL) is EBITDA. Gross Profit here is given at the MOL level, so: EBITDA = 1,305,021,000 EUR. --- **2. Identify Net Debt (S&P methodology)** S&P’s net debt calculation typically includes: - Short-term and long-term debt - Lease liabilities (right-of-use) - Minus cash and cash equivalents - Adjusted for certain other financial liabilities (like derivatives, if material) From the balance sheet at 2023-01-01: **Debt components:** - Non-current financial liabilities: 4,722,263,000 EUR - Current financial liabilities: 619,418,000 EUR - Right-of-use assets are 90,397,000 EUR — a proxy for lease liabilities is usually the same amount (assuming no additions/remeasurements). We’ll include 90,397,000 EUR for operating leases. **Cash and equivalents:** - Cash and cash equivalents: 559,908,000 EUR **Net Debt =** (4,722,263,000 + 619,418,000 + 90,397,000) − 559,908,000 = 5,432,078,000 − 559,908,000 = 4,872,170,000 EUR. --- **3. Ratio calculation** Net Debt / EBITDA = 4,872,170,000 / 1,305,021,000 ≈ 3.73 --- 3.73
