To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio for Ferrovial SA for the year 2022 using the S&P methodology, we first calculate the necessary components based on the provided data. **1. EBITDA Calculation:** S&P typically calculates EBITDA by taking the Profit from Operations (Operating Profit) and adding back Depreciation and Amortization. * Profit Loss from Operating Activities (2022): 423,000,000 EUR * Amortisation Expense (2022): 299,000,000 EUR * EBITDA = 423,000,000 + 299,000,000 = 722,000,000 EUR **2. Net Debt Calculation:** Net Debt is generally defined as Total Financial Debt minus Cash and Cash Equivalents. * Total Noncurrent Borrowings (2023-01-01): 10,776,000,000 EUR * Total Current Borrowings (2023-01-01): 877,000,000 EUR * Total Debt = 10,776,000,000 + 877,000,000 = 11,653,000,000 EUR * Cash and Cash Equivalents (2023-01-01): 5,130,000,000 EUR * Net Debt = 11,653,000,000 - 5,130,000,000 = 6,523,000,000 EUR **3. Ratio Calculation:** * Net Debt / EBITDA = 6,523,000,000 / 722,000,000 ≈ 9.0346 *Note: In infrastructure-heavy companies like Ferrovial, S&P methodologies sometimes apply "Project Finance" adjustments (treating infrastructure debt as non-recourse). However, strictly following the provided financial statement line items for the group results in the figures above.* 9.0346
