To calculate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio under S&P methodology, I’ll need to compute: 1. **EBITDA** – starting from operating profit and adding back depreciation, amortization, and impairment losses. 2. **Net Debt** – summing short-term and long-term borrowings, adjusting for cash and cash equivalents, and considering other financial liabilities. --- ### Step 1: EBITDA for 2022 **Profit Loss From Operating Activities (2022):** €1,333,500,000 **Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairment (2022):** €725,700,000 EBITDA = Operating Profit + Depreciation/Amortization/Impairment EBITDA = 1,333,500,000 + 725,700,000 = **€2,059,200,000** --- ### Step 2: Net Debt **Debt items as of 2023-01-01:** - Long-term borrowings: €8,416,700,000 - Short-term borrowings: €444,100,000 - Current portion of long-term borrowings: €1,909,300,000 - Noncurrent financial liabilities: €247,200,000 - Current financial liabilities: €44,900,000 **Total Debt** = 8,416,700,000 + 444,100,000 + 1,909,300,000 + 247,200,000 + 44,900,000 = **€11,062,200,000** **Cash and cash equivalents (2023-01-01):** €2,155,100,000 **Current financial assets (likely liquid):** €255,300,000 (S&P often includes liquid financial assets in cash adjustment) **Total Cash and Equivalents** = 2,155,100,000 + 255,300,000 = **€2,410,400,000** **Net Debt** = 11,062,200,000 – 2,410,400,000 = **€8,651,800,000** --- ### Step 3: Ratio Net Debt / EBITDA = 8,651,800,000 / 2,059,200,000 ≈ **4.20** --- 4.20
