To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio for 2022 according to S&P methodology, we follow these steps: 1. **Calculate EBITDA:** * S&P methodology typically defines EBITDA as Operating Income (Profit/Loss from Operating Activities) + Depreciation and Amortisation. * Operating Income (2022): 533,800,000 EUR * Amortisation, Depreciation, and Provisions (2022): 667,100,000 EUR * However, S&P focuses specifically on *Depreciation and Amortisation* to arrive at EBITDA, excluding provisions if separately reported. Given the provided line item "Amortisation Depreciation And Provisions", we use the total: 533,800,000 + 667,100,000 = 1,200,900,000 EUR. 2. **Calculate Net Debt:** * Net Debt is defined as Total Financial Debt minus Cash and Cash Equivalents. * Total Financial Debt (2022, year-end 2023-01-01 balance sheet): * Non-current financial liabilities: 5,689,900,000 * Current financial liabilities: 650,100,000 * Non-current lease liabilities: 55,100,000 * Current lease liabilities: 21,300,000 * *Total Debt:* 5,689,900,000 + 650,100,000 + 55,100,000 + 21,300,000 = 6,416,400,000 EUR. * Cash and Cash Equivalents (2022, year-end 2023-01-01 balance sheet): 1,942,400,000 EUR. * *Net Debt:* 6,416,400,000 - 1,942,400,000 = 4,474,000,000 EUR. 3. **Calculate Ratio:** * Ratio = Net Debt / EBITDA * Ratio = 4,474,000,000 / 1,200,900,000 ≈ 3.7255 (Note: S&P adjustments can vary, but based strictly on the provided ledger accounts for the period ending Jan 1, 2023, representing the 2022 fiscal year, this is the derived figure.) 3.7255
