To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio for ENEL SPA at the end of 2022 using the S&P methodology, we first determine the Adjusted Net Debt and Adjusted EBITDA using the provided standard financial figures. **1. S&P Adjusted Net Debt:** The S&P methodology calculates Net Debt by summing reported financial debt, adding specific debt-like obligations (such as underfunded pensions and a portion of hybrid bonds), and subtracting highly liquid cash and cash equivalents. - **Reported Borrowings:** - Long-term Borrowings = 68,191,000,000 EUR - Short-term Borrowings = 18,392,000,000 EUR - Current Portion of Long-term Borrowings = 2,835,000,000 EUR - *Total Reported Debt = 89,418,000,000 EUR* - **S&P Adjustments to Debt:** - **Hybrid Bonds:** S&P typically treats 50% of perpetual hybrid equity instruments as debt. - 50% of "Equity Instruments Perpetual Hybrid Bonds" (5,567,000,000 EUR) = 2,783,500,000 EUR - **Pensions:** Unfunded pension/employee benefit obligations are treated as debt. - Noncurrent Provisions For Employee Benefits = 2,202,000,000 EUR - **Cash & Cash Equivalents (Deduction):** - Cash And Cash Equivalents = -11,041,000,000 EUR *Calculation for S&P Adjusted Net Debt:* 89,418,000,000 + 2,783,500,000 + 2,202,000,000 - 11,041,000,000 = **83,362,500,000 EUR** *(Note: While S&P sometimes nets strictly defined cash collateral from margin calls included in other short-term financial assets, using standard generic adjustments on the reported line items yields this core Net Debt).* **2. S&P Adjusted EBITDA:** Standard S&P EBITDA adds back Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments to the Operating Profit. - Profit/Loss From Operating Activities = 11,193,000,000 EUR - Depreciation, Amortisation, And Impairment Loss = 7,447,000,000 EUR *Calculation for EBITDA:* 11,193,000,000 + 7,447,000,000 = **18,640,000,000 EUR** **3. Net Debt / EBITDA Ratio:** 83,362,500,000 EUR / 18,640,000,000 EUR ≈ 4.472x 4.47
