To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio for 2022 based on the S&P methodology, we need to calculate the Net Debt and the EBITDA for the period ending 2022-12-31 (reported as of 2023-01-01). **1. Calculate Net Debt:** S&P defines Net Debt as total debt (short-term and long-term borrowings) minus cash and cash equivalents. From the Balance Sheet (2023-01-01): - Long-term borrowings = 68,191,000,000 EUR - Short-term borrowings = 18,392,000,000 EUR - Current portion of long-term borrowings = 2,835,000,000 EUR Total Debt = 68,191,000,000 + 18,392,000,000 + 2,835,000,000 = 89,418,000,000 EUR - Cash and cash equivalents = 11,041,000,000 EUR Net Debt = Total Debt - Cash & Cash Equivalents Net Debt = 89,418,000,000 - 11,041,000,000 = 78,377,000,000 EUR **2. Calculate EBITDA:** Under S&P methodology, EBITDA is typically calculated as Profit from Operating Activities (Operating Income) plus Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairment. The report explicitly provides both figures for the period: - Profit Loss From Operating Activities = 11,193,000,000 EUR - Depreciation Amortisation And Impairment Loss Reversal Of Impairment Loss Recognised In Profit Or Loss = 7,447,000,000 EUR EBITDA = Operating Income + D&A EBITDA = 11,193,000,000 + 7,447,000,000 = 18,640,000,000 EUR **3. Calculate Net Debt / EBITDA Ratio:** Ratio = Net Debt / EBITDA Ratio = 78,377,000,000 / 18,640,000,000 ≈ 4.204 4.20
