# FFO / Net Debt Ratio Calculation (S&P Methodology) for 2022 ## Reasoning: ### Step 1: Calculate FFO (Funds From Operations) S&P's FFO methodology starts with Net Income and adds back: - Depreciation and Amortization - Impairment losses - Deferred taxes (adjustments) - Other non-cash items From the data for 2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01 (fiscal year 2022): - **Net Income (Profit Loss)**: 448,000,000 EUR - **Depreciation Expense**: 491,000,000 EUR - **Amortisation Expense**: 233,000,000 EUR - **Adjustments for Impairment Loss**: 10,000,000 EUR - **Adjustments for Provisions**: 92,000,000 EUR **FFO Calculation:** FFO = 448 + 491 + 233 + 10 + 92 = 1,274,000,000 EUR (Note: We could also use the operating cash flow of 1,260,000,000 EUR as an alternative starting point, which aligns closely) ### Step 2: Calculate Net Debt Net Debt = Total Debt - Cash and Cash Equivalents **Total Debt Components (as of 2023-01-01, end of fiscal 2022):** - Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities: 5,867,000,000 EUR - Other Current Financial Liabilities: 1,022,000,000 EUR - Total Debt: 6,889,000,000 EUR **Less: Cash and Cash Equivalents (as of 2023-01-01):** - Cash and Cash Equivalents: 2,584,000,000 EUR **Net Debt:** Net Debt = 6,889 - 2,584 = 4,305,000,000 EUR ### Step 3: Calculate FFO / Net Debt Ratio FFO / Net Debt = 1,274 / 4,305 = 0.296 or approximately 29.6% 0.30
