Step 1 — Relevant industry Ørsted A/S is primarily a power and renewable energy company with substantial offshore wind generation and energy trading/supply activities. It is not best characterized as a pure regulated utility, E&P company, or transportation infrastructure issuer. Among the provided methodologies, the closest fit is Unregulated Power and Gas, especially renewable generation. The workflow’s baseline S&P-style corporate formulas are therefore used, with relevant power-sector adjustments where data is available. Step 2 — Adjusted EBITDA Reported EBITDA for 2022: - EBITDA = DKK 32.057bn Potential adjustments: - Leases: lease liabilities are already balance-sheet debt-like items under IFRS 16; no separate lease expense data is provided to adjust EBITDA further. - Nonrecurring gains/losses: the cash flow statement shows “adjustments for losses/gains on disposal of noncurrent assets” of DKK -10.885bn, implying gains on disposals included in earnings. S&P typically excludes material nonrecurring gains from EBITDA/FFO. Therefore, deduct disposal gains. - No sufficient data is provided for pension, guarantees, proportional JV EBITDA, or other normalizations. Adjusted EBITDA estimate: - Adjusted EBITDA = 32.057bn - 10.885bn - Adjusted EBITDA = DKK 21.172bn Step 3 — FFO Use: - FFO = Adjusted EBITDA - cash interest - cash taxes Cash interest: - Interest paid classified as operating activities = DKK 8.548bn Cash taxes: - Income taxes paid classified as operating activities = DKK 1.263bn FFO estimate: - FFO = 21.172bn - 8.548bn - 1.263bn - FFO = DKK 11.361bn Step 4 — Adjusted Debt Reported debt at year-end 2022: - Long-term borrowings = DKK 60.451bn - Short-term borrowings = DKK 2.830bn - Lease liabilities = noncurrent lease liabilities 7.697bn + current lease liabilities 0.569bn = DKK 8.266bn Hybrid capital: - Hybrid capital = DKK 19.793bn - S&P commonly gives intermediate-equity hybrids 50% equity credit, so 50% is treated as debt. - Hybrid debt portion = 50% × 19.793bn = DKK 9.8965bn Gross adjusted debt before cash: - Gross adjusted debt = 60.451bn + 2.830bn + 8.266bn + 9.8965bn - Gross adjusted debt = DKK 81.4435bn Eligible cash: - Cash = DKK 16.178bn Adjusted Debt: - Adjusted Debt = 81.4435bn - 16.178bn - Adjusted Debt = DKK 65.2655bn Step 5 — FFO / Adjusted Debt - FFO / Adjusted Debt = 11.361bn / 65.2655bn - FFO / Adjusted Debt = 0.1741 0.1741
