I'll estimate the FFO / Net Debt ratio for IBERDROLA SA for 2022 based on S&P methodology. ## Step 1: Estimate FFO (Funds From Operations) S&P's FFO starts with net income from continuing operations, adds back depreciation/amortization, and adjusts for non-cash items. A simplified approach: **FFO ≈ Cash Flows from Operating Activities + Net Interest Paid - Working Capital Changes** Alternatively, FFO = Net Income + D&A + Deferred taxes + Other non-cash items - Working capital changes from CFO Let me use the cash flow approach: **Operating Cash Flow (OCF):** €10,443M (2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01, i.e., FY2022) Working capital adjustments included in OCF: - Change in trade receivables: -€1,701M - Change in inventories: +€521M - Change in trade payables: +€44M - Total working capital impact: -€1,136M **FFO = OCF - Working Capital Changes** FFO = €10,443M - (-€1,701M + €521M + €44M) = €10,443M + €1,136M = €11,579M Wait - S&P FFO typically removes working capital changes from CFO. So: FFO = OCF - WC changes = €10,443 - (-€1,136) = €10,443 + €1,136 = €11,579M But S&P also treats lease payments and hybrid instrument interest. Let me adjust: - Add back lease interest: +€61M (already in CFO as financing) - Hybrid equity credit: S&P may give 50% equity credit to perpetual subordinated bonds ## Step 2: Estimate Net Debt **Gross Financial Debt:** - Non-current financial liabilities (bank debt & bonds): €36,129M - Current financial liabilities (bank debt & bonds): €10,458M - Non-current lease liabilities: €2,287M - Current lease liabilities: €151M - Capital instruments with financial liability characteristics: €576M + €87M = €663M Total Gross Debt = €36,129 + €10,458 + €2,287 + €151 + €663 = €49,688M **S&P adjustments:** - S&P typically gives 50% equity credit to hybrid/perpetual subordinated instruments. The NCI includes ~€2,750M from perpetual subordinated bonds issuance. Let me assume hybrids ≈ €5,500M (accumulated). With 50% equity credit, subtract ~€2,750M from debt. - But the capital instruments (€663M) are already on balance sheet as liabilities. The perpetual subordinated bonds may be in NCI. For simplicity, I'll use the balance sheet debt. **Cash:** €4,608M **Current financial assets (liquid):** ~€2,964M (other current financial assets) **Net Debt = Gross Debt - Cash** Net Debt = €49,688M - €4,608M = €45,080M S&P would likely also add operating lease adjustments (already capitalized under IFRS 16) and potentially 50% of hybrids. Adjusting: If we remove 50% equity credit on hybrids (~€663M × 50% = €332M reduction): Net Debt ≈ €45,080M - €332M ≈ €44,748M ## Step 3: Calculate Ratio **FFO / Net Debt = €11,579M / €44,748M ≈ 0.259 or ~25.9%** Refining slightly - S&P FFO also deducts preferred dividends and hybrid costs that aren't in operating cash flows. The perpetual subordinated bond interest of €169M should be deducted: FFO = €11,579M - €169M = €11,410M FFO/Net Debt = €11,410M / €44,748M ≈ 0.255 or ~25.5% Using a more standard net debt (without subtracting hybrid equity credit): FFO/Net Debt = €11,410M / €45,080M ≈ 0.253 0.253
