Step 1 — Relevant industry ITALGAS S.p.A. is primarily a regulated gas distribution utility. Therefore, the relevant methodology is Regulated Utilities. Step 2 — Estimate Adjusted EBITDA Reported operating profit for 2022: - Profit from operating activities = EUR 641.338 million Add back depreciation, amortisation and impairment: - Depreciation, amortisation and impairment = EUR 479.186 million Reconstructed EBITDA: - EBITDA = 641.338 + 479.186 = EUR 1,120.524 million S&P-style adjustments: - Lease adjustment: no sufficient lease liability detail provided; cash lease outflow is available, but debt lease adjustment cannot be reliably reconstructed, so no EBITDA lease add-back is applied. - Nonrecurring gains/losses: cash flow data shows gains on disposal of noncurrent assets of EUR 25.357 million, which would generally be removed from EBITDA as nonrecurring gains. Adjusted EBITDA estimate: - Adjusted EBITDA = 1,120.524 - 25.357 = EUR 1,095.167 million Step 3 — Estimate FFO Baseline formula: FFO = Adjusted EBITDA - cash interest - cash taxes Cash interest: - Finance costs paid classified as operating activities = EUR 53.720 million Cash taxes: - Income taxes paid classified as operating activities = EUR 152.372 million FFO estimate: - FFO = 1,095.167 - 53.720 - 152.372 - FFO = EUR 889.075 million Step 4 — Estimate Adjusted Debt Reported financial debt at year-end 2022: - Short-term financial liabilities excluding other current financial liabilities = EUR 142.437 million - Other current financial liabilities = EUR 0.290 million - Long-term financial liabilities excluding other noncurrent financial liabilities = EUR 6,402.913 million - Other noncurrent financial liabilities = EUR 0.034 million Reported debt: - Reported debt = 142.437 + 0.290 + 6,402.913 + 0.034 - Reported debt = EUR 6,545.674 million Add debt-like items: - Pension deficit / employee benefit liability = EUR 69.917 million - Lease debt: not separately disclosed; no reliable balance-sheet amount available, so not added separately. Gross adjusted debt before cash netting: - Gross adjusted debt = 6,545.674 + 69.917 - Gross adjusted debt = EUR 6,615.591 million Eligible cash: - Cash and cash equivalents = EUR 451.946 million Adjusted Debt: - Adjusted Debt = 6,615.591 - 451.946 - Adjusted Debt = EUR 6,163.645 million Step 5 — Calculate FFO / Adjusted Debt - FFO / Adjusted Debt = 889.075 / 6,163.645 - FFO / Adjusted Debt = 0.144238… 0.1442
