I need to calculate Net Debt / EBITDA for both years (ending 2022-01-01 and 2023-01-01). **Step 1: Calculate EBITDA** EBITDA = Profit from Operating Activities + Depreciation/Amortization For 2022 (period 2021-01-01 to 2022-01-01): - Operating Profit = 611,700,000 - D&A = 612,100,000 (Amortisation Depreciation And Provisions) - But "Amortisation Depreciation And Provisions" includes provisions. Let me use the cash flow adjustments for a cleaner number. - From CF: Adjustments for D&A = 469,900,000 and Allocation to Provisions = 142,200,000, which sum to 612,100,000 — matching the income statement line. For S&P adjusted EBITDA, I'll use Operating Profit + D&A (depreciation and amortization only, excluding provisions for a more standard approach). But since the income statement combines them, let me use the cash flow statement breakout: EBITDA 2021 (period ending 2022-01-01): = Operating Profit + D&A (from CF) = 611,700,000 + 469,900,000 = 1,081,600,000 EBITDA 2022 (period ending 2023-01-01): = Operating Profit + D&A (from CF) = 533,800,000 + 478,600,000 = 1,012,400,000 **Step 2: Calculate Net Debt** Net Debt = Total Financial Debt - Cash At 2022-01-01: - Noncurrent Financial Liabilities = 3,716,000,000 - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities = 53,200,000 - Current Financial Liabilities = 499,700,000 - Current Lease Liabilities = 43,400,000 - Total Debt = 4,312,300,000 - Cash = 885,600,000 - Net Debt = 4,312,300,000 - 885,600,000 = 3,426,700,000 At 2023-01-01: - Noncurrent Financial Liabilities = 5,689,900,000 - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities = 55,100,000 - Current Financial Liabilities = 650,100,000 - Current Lease Liabilities = 21,300,000 - Total Debt = 6,416,400,000 - Cash = 1,942,400,000 - Net Debt = 6,416,400,000 - 1,942,400,000 = 4,474,000,000 **Step 3: Calculate Net Debt / EBITDA** For 2021 (at 2022-01-01, using FY2021 EBITDA): = 3,426,700,000 / 1,081,600,000 = 3.17x For 2022 (at 2023-01-01, using FY2022 EBITDA): = 4,474,000,000 / 1,012,400,000 = 4.42x **Step 4: Calculate the gap** Gap = 4.42x - 3.17x = +1.25x This is significantly higher than +0.3x, indicating deteriorating leverage. The leverage increased substantially from ~3.2x to ~4.4x, a change of about 1.25x, well above the 0.3x threshold. Deteriorating
