## Reasoning ### Step 1: Calculate Net Debt (S&P Methodology) S&P's Net Debt typically includes: - Short-term borrowings - Long-term borrowings - Lease liabilities (S&P typically includes these) - Minus: Cash and cash equivalents **Gross Debt components (as of 2023-01-01, which represents end of fiscal year 2022):** 1. **Non-current bonds/securities ("Participaciones Preferentes Obligaciones YOtros Valores Negociables No Corrientes"):** 3,101M EUR 2. **Non-current loans received:** 2,624M EUR 3. **Non-current lease liabilities:** 439M EUR 4. **Current bonds/securities ("Participaciones Preferentes Obligaciones YOtros Valores Negociables Corrientes"):** 1,139M EUR 5. **Current loans received:** 553M EUR 6. **Current lease liabilities:** 72M EUR **Total Gross Debt** = 3,101 + 2,624 + 439 + 1,139 + 553 + 72 = **7,928M EUR** **Cash and Cash Equivalents** = 2,360M EUR **Net Debt** = 7,928 - 2,360 = **5,568M EUR** ### Step 2: Calculate EBITDA (S&P Methodology) S&P's EBITDA starts with operating profit and adds back depreciation/amortization. S&P also typically includes equity method results that are operational in nature. From the income statement (2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01): **Profit Loss From Operating Activities:** 1,334M EUR This already includes: - "Resultado De Puesta En Equivalencia Operativa" (Operational equity method result): 159M EUR - "Dotacion Amortizacion YVariacion De Provisiones" (D&A and provisions): 762M EUR - "Impairment Loss Reversal": -15M EUR **EBITDA = Operating Profit + D&A + Impairment** EBITDA = 1,334 + 762 + (-15) = 1,334 + 762 - 15 = **2,081M EUR** Wait, let me reconsider. The operating profit already has D&A subtracted, so we add it back: EBITDA = Operating Profit + D&A charges = 1,334 + 762 = 2,096M EUR The impairment of -15M means it's a reversal (negative impairment loss = gain), which is already included in operating profit. For S&P EBITDA, we'd typically add back impairment losses. Since this is a reversal (negative), we might need to subtract it back. Actually, looking at the sign convention: "Impairment Loss Reversal Of Impairment Loss Recognised In Profit Or Loss" = -15M means a net reversal of 15M (a gain). For S&P, we'd want to exclude non-recurring impairments. Let me keep it simple. S&P EBITDA typically = Revenue + Other Income - Operating Expenses (excluding D&A) Let me verify: - Revenue: 11,195 - Other Income: 1,016 - Changes in Inventories: -72 - Raw Materials: -3,483 - Employee Benefits: -2,077 - Other Expenses: -4,814 - Impairment: +15 (reversal) - Other Gains/Losses: +13 - Equity method (operational): +159 **Operating Profit** = 11,195 + 1,016 - 72 - 3,483 - 2,077 - 4,814 - 762 + 15 + 13 + 159 = 1,190... Let me recompute: 11,195 + 1,016 = 12,211; 12,211 - 72 = 12,139; 12,139 - 3,483 = 8,656; 8,656 - 2,077 = 6,579; 6,579 - 4,814 = 1,765; 1,765 - 762 = 1,003; 1,003 + 15 = 1,018; 1,018 + 13 = 1,031; 1,031 + 159 = 1,190... That gives 1,190, not 1,334. There's a discrepancy of 144M. Let me re-examine. The "Changes In Inventories" of -72M - this might be an income item (increase in WIP adds to income). If changes = -72 means a decrease, that reduces income. Actually, looking at the IFRS format: changes in inventories is typically shown as a positive when inventories increase (income side). A negative value means decrease. So it's -72M impact on income. Hmm, the discrepancy suggests I'm misreading something. Let me just use the reported operating profit + D&A. **EBITDA = 1,334 + 762 = 2,096M EUR** For S&P, they also typically add back lease payments (operating leases are already capitalized under IFRS 16, so lease depreciation is in D&A and interest is in finance costs - already handled). ### Step 3: Net Debt / EBITDA Net Debt / EBITDA = 5,568 / 2,096 = **2.66** Let me also consider whether S&P would exclude lease liabilities from debt. Under S&P's methodology post-IFRS 16, they generally include lease liabilities in debt but also include lease depreciation in EBITDA (which is already included in the 762M D&A figure). So this should be consistent. **Net Debt / EBITDA ≈ 2.7** More precisely: 5,568 / 2,096 = 2.656 2.7
