Based on the provided financial data, EDF’s 2022 results show a significant deterioration in profitability and cash generation. The company reported a large operating loss (‑19.4 bn EUR) and a negative operating cash flow (‑7.4 bn EUR) after interest and taxes. The equity ratio is low (≈12 % of total assets) and leverage is high, with net financial debt around 132 bn EUR. Although EDF is a regulated, state‑owned utility and already has some hybrid instruments outstanding, the weak operating performance, negative cash flow, and high leverage indicate limited capacity to service additional hybrid obligations without considerable risk. Therefore, the company does not appear to be a suitable candidate for issuing new hybrid bonds at this time.
