Let’s go through it step-by-step. --- **Step 1 – Identify the relevant industry** VINCI is a large infrastructure and construction group operating concessions (airports, toll roads), energy, and construction services. From the provided methodologies, VINCI fits best under **Transportation Infrastructure** due to its significant concession assets (roads, airports, car parks). However, VINCI is diversified, with major contracting/construction revenues in addition to concessions. The methodology for Transportation Infrastructure is applied to the portion of business that qualifies; for other parts, the general corporate approach would apply. Since no separate split is provided, we will use the *general corporate baseline* for the calculations, but will note any adjustments relevant to transportation infrastructure. --- **Step 2 – Estimate Adjusted EBITDA** **Reported EBITDA reconstruction:** From the data: - *Profit from operating activities* (2022): EUR 6,489 million - *Depreciation & amortization*: EUR 3,613 million - *Provisions/impairment*: EUR 0 million EBITDA = 6,489 + 3,613 = **EUR 10,102 million** **Adjustments:** - *Leases*: The EBITDA reported likely already includes lease depreciation. No specific add-back needed unless leases are capitalized. We keep them separate for debt. - *Nonrecurring items*: - Nonrecurring operating income: EUR 8 million (gain) → subtract. - *Pension adjustments*: OCI includes pension remeasurements; no separate service cost vs. interest data to adjust EBITDA. Typically, S&P adds back only the service cost portion—no adjustment possible here. So, Adjusted EBITDA ≈ 10,102 - 8 = **EUR 10,094 million** --- **Step 3 – Estimate FFO** **Formula:** FFO = Adjusted EBITDA − cash interest − cash taxes - *Cash interest*: Provided as "Interest Paid And Interest Received Classified As Operating Activities" = EUR 563 million. - *Cash taxes*: "Income Taxes Paid Classified As Operating Activities" = EUR 1,603 million. FFO = 10,094 − 563 − 1,603 = **EUR 7,928 million** --- **Step 4 – Estimate Adjusted Debt** **Reported debt:** - Noncurrent bonds: EUR 20,425 million - Noncurrent other borrowings: EUR 3,205 million - Short-term borrowings: EUR 6,368 million Reported debt = 20,425 + 3,205 + 6,368 = **EUR 29,998 million** **Leases:** - Noncurrent lease liabilities: EUR 1,580 million - Current lease liabilities: EUR 522 million Total leases = **EUR 2,102 million** **Pension deficit:** - Noncurrent provisions for employee benefits: EUR 1,149 million. No pension asset given → treat full amount as deficit = EUR 1,149 million. **Other adjustments:** - Hybrids, guarantees, other debt-like items: none given. **Eligible cash:** S&P surplus cash is usually cash beyond operating needs, but we use full cash for simplicity here. - Cash & cash equivalents: EUR 12,578 million - Current cash management financial assets: EUR 755 million Total cash = **EUR 13,333 million** **Adjusted Debt** = 29,998 + 2,102 + 1,149 − 13,333 = **EUR 19,916 million** --- **Step 5 – FFO / Adjusted Debt** 7,928 / 19,916 ≈ **0.3980** --- 0.3980
