To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio following S&P methodology, I need to calculate two things from the provided data: 1. **EBITDA** (adjusted, as S&P would typically use) 2. **Net Debt** (total debt minus cash and cash equivalents, with adjustments for certain items S&P includes as debt) --- ### Step 1 – EBITDA (Approximate) We use: **Operating income before share of net income of equity-accounted entities + Depreciation, amortization, provisions, impairment (from cash flow statement)** From the data: - Operating income before share of net income/loss of equity accounted entities (2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01): 2,206,300,000 EUR - Operating depreciation, amortization, provisions and impairment losses (same period): 3,178,600,000 EUR EBITDA ≈ 2,206.3M + 3,178.6M = **5,384,900,000 EUR** --- ### Step 2 – Net Debt (S&P style) S&P generally includes: - Short-term and long-term borrowings - Lease liabilities - Deeply subordinated securities (often treated as debt if not 100% equity credit) - Minus cash and cash equivalents From the balance sheet (2023-01-01): - Noncurrent financial liabilities (excluding concession): 19,692,100,000 - Noncurrent lease liabilities: 1,656,200,000 - Noncurrent concession liabilities: 1,680,500,000 - Current financial liabilities (excluding concession): 6,521,400,000 - Current lease liabilities: 496,500,000 - Current concession liabilities: 243,200,000 - Deeply subordinated securities (Titres Super Subordonnés): 3,496,300,000 - Bank overdrafts: 213,600,000 - Cash and cash equivalents: 9,012,200,000 **Total gross debt** = 19,692.1M + 1,656.2M + 1,680.5M + 6,521.4M + 496.5M + 243.2M + 3,496.3M + 213.6M = **33,999,800,000 EUR** **Net debt** = 33,999.8M - 9,012.2M = **24,987,600,000 EUR** --- ### Step 3 – Net Debt/EBITDA Ratio = 24,987.6M / 5,384.9M ≈ **4.64** --- 4.64
