To estimate the S&P-adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio for Acciona SA for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, we follow the S&P Global Ratings baseline methodology for corporate entities, determining Adjusted Debt and Adjusted EBITDA from the provided financial facts. **Step 1: Estimate Adjusted Debt** S&P defines Adjusted Debt as reported gross debt plus lease liabilities, minus accessible cash and cash equivalents. We compile the short- and long-term borrowing figures from the balance sheet. *Reported Borrowings:* - Noncurrent Portion Of Noncurrent Loans Received: €2,624,000,000 - Current Loans Received And Current Portion Of Noncurrent Loans Received: €553,000,000 - Participaciones Preferentes, Obligaciones Y Otros Valores Negociables No Corrientes (Noncurrent Bonds/Securities): €3,101,000,000 - Participaciones Preferentes, Obligaciones Y Otros Valores Negociables Corrientes (Current Bonds/Securities): €1,139,000,000 *Total Reported Debt = €7,417,000,000* *Lease Liabilities:* - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities: €439,000,000 - Current Lease Liabilities: €72,000,000 *Total Lease Liabilities = €511,000,000* *Gross Debt = €7,417,000,000 + €511,000,000 = €7,928,000,000* *Eligible Cash:* - Cash And Cash Equivalents: €2,360,000,000 *Adjusted Debt* = €7,928,000,000 - €2,360,000,000 = **€5,568,000,000** **Step 2: Estimate Adjusted EBITDA** S&P calculates Adjusted EBITDA by starting with reported Operating Profit (EBIT), adding back Depreciation and Amortization (D&A), and making normalizations for non-recurring or non-cash items, as well as adjusting for equity in earnings of joint ventures (subtracting non-cash equity income and adding back cash dividends received). We reconstruct the EBIT to ensure proper sign alignments: *Reported EBIT = €1,334,000,000* *D&A Add-back:* - Dotacion Amortizacion Y Variacion De Provisiones: €762,000,000 *(EBITDA before further adjustments = €1,334M + €762M = €2,096,000,000)* *Normalizations (removing gains to clean the core metric):* - Equity in earnings of operating JVs ("Resultado De Puesta En Equivalencia Operativa"): Deduct the €159,000,000 non-cash gain included in EBIT. - Dividends received from JVs: Add the actual cash received of €89,000,000. - Reversal of impairment losses ("Impairment Loss Reversal..."): Deduct the €15,000,000 non-recurring gain. - Other Gains / Losses: Deduct the €13,000,000 operating gain. *Adjusted EBITDA* = €2,096,000,000 - €159,000,000 + €89,000,000 - €15,000,000 - €13,000,000 = **€1,998,000,000** **Step 3: Calculate the S&P-Adjusted Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio** Adjusted Debt / Adjusted EBITDA = €5,568,000,000 / €1,998,000,000 = 2.78678... 2.79
