**Reasoning** 1. **Identify total debt (including lease obligations)** - Non‑current borrowings (debt securities & bank borrowings): €10,776 M - Current borrowings (including current portion of non‑current borrowings): €877 M - Lease liabilities (non‑current + current): €120 M + €64 M = €184 M **Total debt** = 10,776 + 877 + 184 = **€11,837 M** 2. **Identify unrestricted cash** - “Cash and cash equivalents excluding infrastructure projects” is the cash freely available to the group: €4,962 M **Net Debt** = Total debt – Unrestricted cash = 11,837 M – 4,962 M = **€6,875 M** 3. **Calculate EBITDA** - Operating profit (before impairment and disposals) = €429 M (includes depreciation/amortisation) - Add back amortisation expense: €299 M **EBITDA** = 429 M + 299 M = **€728 M** 4. **Compute the ratio** - Net Debt / EBITDA = 6,875 M / 728 M ≈ **9.4** **Final answer** 9.4
