To estimate the S&P-adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio for Ferrovial S.A. for 2022, we follow the prescribed workflow: ### 1. Identify the Industry Ferrovial operates heavily in infrastructure (toll roads, airports, and construction). Given the emphasis on concessions, we categorize Ferrovial under "Transportation Infrastructure." ### 2. Estimate Adjusted Debt Per S&P guidelines, we calculate Adjusted Debt using the provided balance sheet data (figures in EUR): * **Reported Debt:** * Noncurrent Borrowings: 10,776,000,000 (Noncurrent Portion of Other Noncurrent Borrowings) + 838,000,000 (Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities) = 11,614,000,000 * Current Borrowings: 1,096,000,000 * Lease Liabilities (Current + Noncurrent): 58,000,000 + 115,000,000 = 173,000,000 * Total Debt = 11,614,000,000 + 1,096,000,000 + 173,000,000 = 12,883,000,000 * **Eligible Cash:** Generally defined as Cash and Cash Equivalents, excluding restricted cash. * Total Cash: 5,536,000,000 * Restricted Cash: 579,000,000 + 47,000,000 + 160,000,000 = 786,000,000 * Eligible Cash = 5,536,000,000 - 786,000,000 = 4,750,000,000 * **Adjusted Debt:** 12,883,000,000 - 4,750,000,000 = 8,133,000,000 ### 3. Estimate Adjusted EBITDA We reconstruct EBITDA using the Operating Profit + Depreciation/Amortization + Non-recurring items. * **Profit from Operating Activities:** 423,000,000 * **Depreciation & Amortization:** 299,000,000 * **Adjustments:** * Add back Impairment/Disposals: 6,000,000 (Since -6M is a loss, we add it back to normalized operating performance). * Exclude Fair Value Adjustments: 1,000,000 (Subtracting to normalize). * **Adjusted EBITDA:** 423,000,000 + 299,000,000 + 6,000,000 - 1,000,000 = 727,000,000 *(Note: Per methodology, we maintain consistency with reported operating metrics).* ### 4. Calculate Ratio * Ratio = Adjusted Debt / Adjusted EBITDA * Ratio = 8,133,000,000 / 727,000,000 * Ratio ≈ 11.187... Rounding to two decimal places, we get 11.19. 11.19
