To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio for 2022 based on the S&P methodology, we need to calculate the components: Net Debt and EBITDA for the year 2022 (dates 2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01). **1. Calculate EBITDA** The report explicitly provides the EBITDA for 2022: - "Beneficio Bruto De Explotacion Ebitda" 2022-01-01 - 2023-01-01: 13,228,000,000 EUR Thus, EBITDA = 13,228 million EUR. **2. Calculate Net Debt** Under S&P methodology, Net Debt is typically calculated as: Total Financial Debt (Short-term + Long-term financial liabilities, excluding derivatives) minus Cash and Cash Equivalents. Let's break down the financial liabilities (excluding derivative liabilities and lease liabilities, which S&P generally classifies as operating obligations, consistent with EBITDA adjusting for rent/lease expenses): - **Noncurrent Financial Liabilities** (2023-01-01): 44,216,000,000 EUR - Less: Noncurrent Derivative Financial Liabilities: 3,690,000,000 EUR - Less: Noncurrent Lease Liabilities: 2,287,000,000 EUR - Noncurrent Debt = 44,216 - 3,690 - 2,287 = 38,239,000,000 EUR - **Current Financial Liabilities** (2023-01-01): 25,079,000,000 EUR - Less: Current Derivative Financial Liabilities: 3,398,000,000 EUR - Less: Current Lease Liabilities: 151,000,000 EUR - Current Debt = 25,079 - 3,398 - 151 = 21,530,000,000 EUR Total Financial Debt = 38,239,000,000 + 21,530,000,000 = 59,769,000,000 EUR. Cash and Cash Equivalents (2023-01-01): 4,608,000,000 EUR. Net Debt = Total Financial Debt - Cash & Cash Equivalents Net Debt = 59,769,000,000 - 4,608,000,000 = 55,161,000,000 EUR. *(Note: Even if we simply took the aggregate reported financial liabilities (44,216m + 25,079m = 69,295m) and only subtracted the derivative liabilities (3,690m + 3,398m = 7,088m) and cash (4,608m), the debt would be 57,599m, yielding a ratio of ~4.35x. However, removing operating leases to align with the EBITDA metric is the standard S&P approach).* **3. Calculate Net Debt / EBITDA Ratio** Ratio = Net Debt / EBITDA Ratio = 55,161,000,000 / 13,228,000,000 Ratio ≈ 4.1705 Rounding to two decimal places gives 4.17. 4.17
