To compute Net Debt/EBITDA for ERG S.p.A. for FY 2022 (period ending 2023‑01‑01) under S&P’s methodology I first identified the debt components and cash equivalents at year‑end. **Debt (interest‑bearing)** - Other non‑current financial liabilities: 1,751,255 k€ - Non‑current lease liabilities: 150,955 k€ - Other current financial liabilities: 389,716 k€ - Current lease liabilities: 6,362 k€ Total debt = 1,751,255 + 150,955 + 389,716 + 6,362 = 2,298,288 k€. **Cash & equivalents** - Cash and cash equivalents: 392,811 k€ - Current financial assets at fair value through P&L (short‑term, liquid): 141,568 k€ Cash = 392,811 + 141,568 = 534,379 k€. **Net Debt** Net Debt = Total Debt – Cash = 2,298,288 – 534,379 = 1,763,909 k€. **EBITDA** The figure “Profit loss from operating activities before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation expense” for 2022 is 499,430 k€, which corresponds to EBITDA under S&P’s definition. **Ratio** Net Debt / EBITDA = 1,763,909 / 499,430 ≈ 3.53. Thus, the Net Debt/EBITDA ratio for 2022 is approximately **3.5**. 3.53
