Based on the provided data, S&P Global Ratings typically defines net debt as debt less cash and cash equivalents, with adjustments for certain items not detailed here. For a simplified calculation, we can use the balance sheet figures for financial liabilities and cash. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2022 (2023-01-01) were 2,584,000,000 EUR. For debt, we need the financial liabilities. The relevant items are: - Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities: 5,867,000,000 EUR - Other Current Financial Liabilities: 1,022,000,000 EUR Total financial liabilities = 5,867,000,000 + 1,022,000,000 = 6,889,000,000 EUR. Net Debt = Total financial liabilities - Cash and cash equivalents Net Debt = 6,889,000,000 - 2,584,000,000 = 4,305,000,000 EUR. EBITDA (Gross Operating Income EBITDA) for the year 2022 (2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01) was 1,505,000,000 EUR. Net Debt / EBITDA = 4,305,000,000 / 1,505,000,000 = 2.860465... Rounding to two decimal places gives 2.86. 2.86
