To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio for 2022 under S&P methodology, I need to calculate: 1. **EBITDA** – Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. 2. **Net Debt** – Typically, gross debt minus cash and cash equivalents, often adjusted for certain items per S&P methodology (e.g., operating leases, pension deficits, guarantees, etc.), but with the limited data available, I’ll use the standard balance-sheet approach. --- ### 1. EBITDA Calculation Using income statement figures for the period **2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01**: | Item | Amount (EUR) | |---|---| | Profit Loss From Operating Activities | 961,554,000 | | Depreciation And Amortisation Expense | 544,992,000 | | Deterioro Y Resultado Por Enajenaciones Del Inmovilizado | 488,000 | | Imputacion De Subvenciones De Inmovilizado No Financiero Y Otras | (15,780,000) | **EBITDA** = Operating Profit + Depreciation & Amortization + Impairment/Disposal losses – Grants recognized = 961,554,000 + 544,992,000 + 488,000 – 15,780,000 = **1,491,254,000 EUR** --- ### 2. Net Debt Calculation Standard Net Debt = (Short-term borrowings + Long-term borrowings) – Cash and Cash Equivalents. From the balance sheet at **2023-01-01** (end of 2022): | Item | Amount (EUR) | |---|---| | Current Borrowings And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Borrowings | 721,845,000 | | Longterm Borrowings | 5,491,124,000 | | **Total Borrowings** | **6,212,969,000** | | Cash And Cash Equivalents | 794,824,000 | **Net Debt** = 6,212,969,000 – 794,824,000 = **5,418,145,000 EUR** --- ### 3. Net Debt / EBITDA Ratio = 5,418,145,000 / 1,491,254,000 ≈ **3.63** --- 3.63
