To estimate Net Debt / EBITDA under an S&P-style approach, I use consolidated debt-like obligations net of cash, and EBITDA approximated from operating profit before depreciation/amortisation. **1. Estimate EBITDA for 2022** From the 2022 income statement: - Profit/loss from operating activities = **€423m** - Amortisation expense = **€299m** Approximate EBITDA: \[ EBITDA = Operating\ Profit + D\&A \] \[ EBITDA = 423 + 299 = 722\text{ million EUR} \] **2. Estimate gross debt** Debt-like items at 2022 year-end / 2023-01-01: - Noncurrent debt securities and bank borrowings of infrastructure projects = **€7,893m** - Noncurrent debt securities and bank borrowings excluding infrastructure projects = **€2,883m** - Current debt securities and bank borrowings of infrastructure projects = **€74m** - Current debt securities and bank borrowings excluding infrastructure projects = **€803m** - Noncurrent lease liabilities = **€120m** - Current lease liabilities = **€64m** Gross debt: \[ 7{,}893 + 2{,}883 + 74 + 803 + 120 + 64 = 11{,}837\text{ million EUR} \] **3. Subtract cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents: \[ 5{,}130\text{ million EUR} \] Net debt: \[ 11{,}837 - 5{,}130 = 6{,}707\text{ million EUR} \] **4. Net Debt / EBITDA** \[ \frac{6{,}707}{722} = 9.29 \] Rounded: \[ \approx 9.3x \] 9.3
