VINCI shows solid fundamentals that support a hybrid‑bond issuance. Revenue grew to €62.3 bn in FY 2022 with recurring operating profit of €6.5 bn, providing a stable cash‑flow base. EBITDA (approx. €10 bn) comfortably covers interest expense (net finance costs ~€614 M), giving an interest‑cover ratio of around 10×. Net debt of roughly €18 bn in 2023 translates to a net‑debt/EBITDA ratio of about 1.8×, indicating moderate leverage that leaves room for additional subordinated instruments. The company’s equity base (≈ 26 % of total assets) together with a strong cash position (≈ €13 bn of cash and short‑term investments) provides financial flexibility to service deferred coupons, a key requirement for hybrid bonds. Its investment‑grade profile (high and growing profitability, stable concession revenues, manageable debt maturity) further supports the capacity to issue hybrid debt as a cost‑effective, tax‑deductible source of capital. All these metrics point to a company well‑positioned to successfully launch hybrid bonds. Strongly Suitable
