# Estimation of FFO / Net Debt Ratio for 2022 ## Reasoning **Funds From Operations (FFO)** is a cash flow metric that typically equals: - Operating Cash Flow + Interest Paid - Non-recurring items adjustments From the data for 2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01 (fiscal year 2022): - Cash Flows From Operating Activities: 1,260,000,000 EUR - Interest Paid (Operating Activities): 75,000,000 EUR - Non-recurring items (gains on disposal): -191,000,000 EUR (this is a one-time gain, so we may add it back) **FFO = 1,260,000,000 + 75,000,000 - (-191,000,000) = 1,526,000,000 EUR** However, a more conservative approach would be: **FFO = 1,260,000,000 + 75,000,000 = 1,335,000,000 EUR** I'll use the simpler definition: **FFO ≈ 1,335,000,000 EUR** **Net Debt** calculation: Looking at the balance sheet at 2023-01-01 (end of 2022): - Non-current Financial Liabilities: 5,867,000,000 EUR - Current Financial Liabilities: 1,022,000,000 EUR - Total Debt: 6,889,000,000 EUR - Cash and Cash Equivalents: 2,584,000,000 EUR **Net Debt = 6,889,000,000 - 2,584,000,000 = 4,305,000,000 EUR** Alternatively, looking at the balance sheet at 2022-01-01 (beginning of 2022): - Non-current Financial Liabilities: 4,322,000,000 EUR - Current Financial Liabilities: 746,000,000 EUR - Total Debt: 5,068,000,000 EUR - Cash: 964,000,000 EUR - Net Debt: 4,104,000,000 EUR Using average or end-of-period net debt (~4,305,000,000 EUR): **FFO / Net Debt Ratio = 1,335,000,000 / 4,305,000,000 = 0.310 or approximately 0.31** 0.31
