Step 1 — Relevant industry Fortum Oyj is primarily a power and heat utility/generation company. Based on the provided methodologies, the closest fit is Unregulated Power and Gas, since Fortum has substantial power generation/energy market exposure and is not presented here as a predominantly regulated network utility. No sector-specific debt/EBITDA formula override is needed from the provided text, so I apply the baseline S&P-style adjusted debt and EBITDA approach. Step 2 — Estimate Adjusted_Debt Use year-end 2022 balance sheet values at 2023-01-01. Reported debt is approximated from financial liabilities: - Other noncurrent financial liabilities: EUR 3,658m - Other current financial liabilities: EUR 4,127m Reported debt = 3,658m + 4,127m = EUR 7,785m Other debt-like adjustments: - Pension deficit: Noncurrent recognised liabilities defined benefit plan = EUR 13m - Leases: not separately disclosed; assumed included in financial liabilities or not available - Guarantees/hybrid debt portion/other debt-like items: not available, assumed 0 - Eligible cash: Liquid funds / cash and cash equivalents = EUR 3,919m Adjusted_Debt = reported debt + pension deficit − eligible cash Adjusted_Debt = 7,785m + 13m − 3,919m Adjusted_Debt = EUR 3,879m Step 3 — Estimate Adjusted_EBITDA The annual report facts provide: - Operating Profit Before Depreciations EBITDA 2022 = EUR 1,842m - Comparable EBITDA 2022 = EUR 2,436m For S&P-adjusted EBITDA, nonrecurring and comparability items are generally normalized. Fortum’s comparable EBITDA excludes items affecting comparability, so it is the better proxy for Adjusted_EBITDA. Adjusted_EBITDA ≈ Comparable EBITDA = EUR 2,436m Step 4 — Calculate Adjusted_Debt / Adjusted_EBITDA Adjusted_Debt / Adjusted_EBITDA = 3,879m / 2,436m = 1.5924 Rounded to two decimals = 1.59 1.59
