I need to calculate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio for 2022 using the S&P methodology. First, let me identify the components needed: **EBITDA for 2022:** From the data: "Beneficio Bruto De Explotacion Ebitda" 2022-01-01 - 2023-01-01: 4954000000 EUR This is the EBITDA for 2022 (the period from 2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01). **Net Debt calculation (S&P methodology):** Net Debt = Total Debt - Cash and Cash Equivalents Total Debt includes: - Current Financial Liabilities - Current Borrowings And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Borrowings - Noncurrent Financial Liabilities - Longterm Borrowings Let me check what's available: From the balance sheet at 2023-01-01 (end of 2022): - "Current Financial Liabilities" 2023-01-01: 2302000000 EUR - "Current Borrowings And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Borrowings" 2023-01-01: 2110000000 EUR - "Noncurrent Financial Liabilities" 2023-01-01: 13999000000 EUR - "Longterm Borrowings" 2023-01-01: 12689000000 EUR Wait - I need to be careful about double counting. Let me look at the structure: Current Financial Liabilities (2302M) includes: - Current Borrowings And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Borrowings: 2110M - Current Lease Liabilities: 177M - Other Current Financial Liabilities: 15M Noncurrent Financial Liabilities (13999M) includes: - Longterm Borrowings: 12689M - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities: 1309M - Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities: 1M For S&P methodology, Total Debt typically includes: - Short-term borrowings (Current Borrowings And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Borrowings) - Long-term borrowings - Sometimes lease liabilities, but this depends on the specific S&P approach Actually, looking more carefully at S&P methodology, they typically include: - All interest-bearing debt (borrowings) - Sometimes capitalized leases/finance leases Let me use the more comprehensive approach that includes borrowings and lease liabilities: **Total Debt at 2023-01-01 (end of 2022):** - Current Borrowings And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Borrowings: 2110000000 EUR - Longterm Borrowings: 12689000000 EUR - Current Lease Liabilities: 177000000 EUR - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities: 1309000000 EUR Total Debt = 2110 + 12689 + 177 + 1309 = 16285 million EUR Wait, let me reconsider. The "Current Financial Liabilities" and "Noncurrent Financial Liabilities" are the broader categories. Actually, for S&P Global Ratings methodology, Total Debt typically includes: - Short-term debt (all of current financial liabilities that are debt-like) - Long-term debt - Lease liabilities (operating and finance) Let me use a cleaner approach. Looking at the components: Borrowings: - Current Borrowings And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Borrowings: 2110000000 - Longterm Borrowings: 12689000000 Total Borrowings = 14799000000 Lease Liabilities: - Current Lease Liabilities: 177000000 - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities: 1309000000 Total Lease Liabilities = 1486000000 Other financial liabilities (debt-like): - Other Current Financial Liabilities: 15000000 - Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities: 1000000 For S&P methodology, Total Debt typically = Borrowings + Lease Liabilities + other debt-like items Let me check if there's a simpler way. The "Noncurrent Financial Liabilities" (13999M) + "Current Financial Liabilities" (2302M) = 16301M But this double counts if I also use the subcomponents. Let me just use the main categories and their components to avoid double counting: From Current Financial Liabilities (2302M): - Current Borrowings And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Borrowings: 2110M - Current Lease Liabilities: 177M - Other Current Financial Liabilities: 15M From Noncurrent Financial Liabilities (13999M): - Longterm Borrowings: 12689M - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities: 1309M - Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities: 1M Sum of components: 2110 + 177 + 15 + 12689 + 1309 + 1 = 16301M = 2302 + 13999 ✓ So Total Financial Liabilities = 16301000000 EUR But S&P Net Debt typically excludes certain items. Let me think about what's standard S&P practice: S&P Global Ratings typically defines Total Debt as: - Short-term borrowings - Current portion of long-term debt - Long-term debt - Finance lease obligations - Sometimes operating lease obligations (post-IFRS 16) For a more standard approach, let me include: - All borrowings (short and long term) - Lease liabilities (finance and operating) Total Debt = 2110 + 12689 + 177 + 1309 = 16285 million EUR Or using the broader financial liabilities: 16301 million EUR Actually, let me check if there are other debt-like items. Looking at the balance sheet, I should also consider if there are any other significant debt items. For S&P methodology, they also sometimes include: - Derivatives liabilities? No, those are typically excluded from debt - Trade payables? No, those are operating liabilities Let me use Total Financial Liabilities as the debt measure: 16301000000 EUR Cash and Cash Equivalents at 2023-01-01: 3985000000 EUR Net Debt = 16301000000 - 3985000000 = 12316000000 EUR Wait, I need to double check. Let me also see if there are other current financial assets that should be considered as "cash-like": "Other Current Financial Assets" 2023-01-01: 408000000 EUR S&P sometimes includes liquid financial assets as part of "cash-like" items. But standard practice is usually just Cash and Cash Equivalents. Let me reconsider using a more conservative approach. Some S&P methodologies also deduct certain liquid investments. Actually, let me look more carefully. The standard S&P definition: Net Debt = Short-term debt + Long-term debt + Lease liabilities - Cash and cash equivalents - Liquid investments But for simplicity and standard practice, let me use: Net Debt = Total Borrowings + Lease Liabilities - Cash and Cash Equivalents = (2110000000 + 12689000000 + 177000000 + 1309000000) - 3985000000 = 16285000000 - 3985000000 = 12300000000 EUR Or if using total financial liabilities: = 16301000000 - 3985000000 = 12316000000 EUR Hmm, but I need to check if the 2302M current financial liabilities includes the current portion of long-term debt properly. Let me verify: 2110 + 177 + 15 = 2302 ✓ And 12689 + 1309 + 1 = 13999 ✓ So total is correct. Now, should I include "Other Current Financial Assets" (408M) as cash-like? S&P sometimes includes marketable securities and other liquid financial assets if they are readily convertible to cash. Let me check: "Other Current Financial Assets" 2023-01-01: 408000000 EUR If I include this as cash-like: Net Debt = 16301000000 - 3985000000 - 408000000 = 11908000000 EUR But standard S&P practice is usually just Cash and Cash Equivalents, unless specified otherwise. Actually, looking at this more carefully, I realize I should check what "Other Current Financial Assets" represents. Without more detail, I'll stick to standard Cash and Cash Equivalents. However, I want to also check if there's any noncurrent financial assets that are cash-like. "Noncurrent Financial Assets" 2023-01-01: 493000000 EUR - these are likely investments, not cash-like. Let me also verify my EBITDA figure. "Beneficio Bruto De Explotacion Ebitda" 2022-01-01 - 2023-01-01: 4954000000 EUR This is clearly labeled as EBITDA, so that's correct for 2022. Now let me calculate the ratio: Using Net Debt = 12300000000 (borrowings + leases - cash) or 12316000000 (total financial liabilities - cash) Actually, I want to be more precise about S&P methodology. S&P Global Ratings typically uses: Total Debt = Short-term interest-bearing debt + Long-term interest-bearing debt + Lease liabilities (both capitalized and operating) And they typically exclude: - Derivative liabilities - Trade payables - Other operating liabilities So from the financial liabilities, I should check what's truly "debt": Current Financial Liabilities 2302M includes: - Current Borrowings And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Borrowings 2110M ← debt - Current Lease Liabilities 177M ← lease debt - Other Current Financial Liabilities 15M ← ? Noncurrent Financial Liabilities 13999M includes: - Longterm Borrowings 12689M ← debt - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities 1309M ← lease debt - Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities 1M ← ? The "Other" categories are small (16M total), so likely immaterial. They could be derivative liabilities or other items. For a clean S&P calculation, I'll use: Total Debt = 2110 + 177 + 12689 + 1309 = 16285M Net Debt = 16285 - 3985 = 12300M Wait, I need to double-check: 2110 + 177 = 2287, plus 12689 + 1309 = 13998, total = 16285. Yes. Or using the exact components: 2110000000 + 177000000 + 12689000000 + 1309000000 = 16285000000 Net Debt = 16285000000 - 3985000000 = 12300000000 Net Debt / EBITDA = 12300000000 / 4954000000 = 2.4828... Let me also try the broader financial liabilities approach: 16301000000 - 3985000000 = 12316000000 12316000000 / 4954000000 = 2.4861... The difference is small (0.3%). Let me think about which is more appropriate. Actually, I want to reconsider if I should include other current financial assets. Looking at typical S&P adjustments: Sometimes S&P includes "readily marketable securities" as part of cash. The 408M "Other Current Financial Assets" could include things like short-term deposits, marketable securities, etc. But without knowing the exact composition, I'll be conservative and stick with Cash and Cash Equivalents only. However, let me also check if there's a standard adjustment for cash not available for debt repayment. No information given on restricted cash. Let me finalize with: Net Debt = Total Borrowings + Lease Liabilities - Cash and Cash Equivalents = (2110000000 + 12689000000) + (177000000 + 1309000000) - 3985000000 = 14799000000 + 1486000000 - 3985000000 = 16285000000 - 3985000000 = 12300000000 EUR Net Debt / EBITDA = 12300000000 / 4954000000 = 2.482842955... Rounding to typical presentation: 2.48x or about 2.5x But wait - I need to double check my period. The EBITDA is for 2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01, which is the 2022 fiscal year. The balance sheet items at 2023-01-01 are the end of 2022 balances. Actually, for ratio calculations, sometimes average debt is used, but S&P typically uses period-end debt for leverage ratios. Let me also verify: is there any other debt I should include? Looking at current liabilities, there's also "Pasivo Derivados Comerciales Corriente" (1624M) - these are derivative liabilities. S&P typically excludes derivatives from debt calculations. And "Other Current Liabilities" etc. - these are operating, not debt. So my calculation seems reasonable. Let me do a final precise calculation: 12300000000 / 4954000000 = 2.482842955995155... If I use the slightly broader definition (including other financial liabilities): 12316000000 / 4954000000 = 2.486071860... The difference is minimal. I'll go with 2.48 as my primary answer, or more precisely 2.483. Actually, let me reconsider once more if I should use average debt or year-end debt. For S&P methodology, they typically use "adjusted debt" which is usually period-end or sometimes average. For leverage ratios like Net Debt/EBITDA, period-end debt is standard. But wait - I should check if the 2022-01-01 debt figures might be more appropriate, or if I should average. Actually, for annual ratios, period-end is standard unless specified otherwise. Let me also verify by checking if there's any "cash" included in other line items. "Other Current Financial Assets" 408M - if this includes things like short-term investments, it might be cash-like. Actually, looking at typical Spanish annual report structures, "Other Current Financial Assets" often includes things like deposits, short-term investments, derivatives assets, etc. Without more detail, it's hard to say. Let me try a slightly different approach - what if I include all financial assets as "cash-like" deductions? Financial Assets: - Noncurrent Financial Assets: 493M - Other Current Financial Assets: 408M - Cash And Cash Equivalents: 3985M Total = 4886M Net Debt = 16285 - 4886 = 11399M Ratio = 11399 / 4954 = 2.30 This seems too aggressive. Standard practice is just Cash and Cash Equivalents. I'll stick with my primary calculation: 12300 / 4954 = 2.48 Let me do one more verification of the debt figure. In S&P methodology, they also sometimes include: - Provisions? No, typically excluded from debt - Deferred tax liabilities? No - Pension liabilities? Sometimes included if unfunded Looking at the balance sheet, I don't see specific pension liabilities broken out. Final calculation: Net Debt = 12300000000 EBITDA = 4954000000 Ratio = 2.4828... I'll round to 2.48 or present as 2.5. Given the precision of the inputs, 2.48 seems appropriate, or perhaps 2.483. Actually, looking at this again, I want to make sure about the lease treatment. Post-IFRS 16, operating leases are capitalized on the balance sheet. S&P typically includes these as debt. My calculation includes: - Current Lease Liabilities: 177M - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities: 1309M Total leases: 1486M This seems correct for post-IFRS 16 treatment. One final check: are there any "liabilities included in disposal groups classified as held for sale" that include debt? At 2023-01-01, this is 0, so no impact. And at 2022-01-01, there was 26M of liabilities in held for sale, with 40M of assets. But at 2023-01-01 (our measurement date), it's 0. So my final answer is: Net Debt / EBITDA = 12300000000 / 4954000000 = 2.482842956 ≈ 2.48 Or if I want more precision: 2.483 Let me present this as 2.48. 2.48
