To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio for ENGIE for the fiscal year 2022 using the S&P methodology, we follow these steps: **1. Calculate Net Debt (as of 2022-12-31 / 2023-01-01):** S&P typically defines Net Debt as (Short-term borrowings + Long-term borrowings) - Cash and cash equivalents. * Long-term borrowings: 28,083,000,000 EUR * Current borrowings and current portion of non-current borrowings: 12,508,000,000 EUR * Cash and cash equivalents: 15,570,000,000 EUR * Net Debt = (28,083,000,000 + 12,508,000,000) - 15,570,000,000 = 25,021,000,000 EUR **2. Calculate EBITDA (2022):** S&P typically derives EBITDA as (Current Operating Income including Operating MTM + Depreciation, Amortization, and Provisions). * Current Operating Income including Operating MTM: 4,309,000,000 EUR * Depreciation, Amortization, and Provisions: 5,187,000,000 EUR * EBITDA = 4,309,000,000 + 5,187,000,000 = 9,496,000,000 EUR **3. Calculate the Ratio:** * Ratio = Net Debt / EBITDA * Ratio = 25,021,000,000 / 9,496,000,000 ≈ 2.635 (Note: S&P often makes adjustments for non-recourse debt or hybrid instruments; however, based strictly on the provided financial report data, this is the standard calculation.) 2.635
