I need to estimate Moody's adjusted leverage trend for VINCI in 2022. Moody's adjusted leverage is typically measured as Adjusted Debt / Adjusted EBITDA. Let me work through the key components: **EBITDA Approximation:** - Profit from Operating Activities 2022: €6,489M (vs 2021: €4,438M) - Depreciation & Amortization 2022: €3,613M (vs 2021: €3,219M) - Approximate EBITDA 2022: €6,489M + €3,613M = ~€10,102M - Approximate EBITDA 2021: €4,438M + €3,219M = ~€7,657M EBITDA grew significantly (~32% increase). **Debt Estimation:** At end of 2022 (reported as 2023-01-01): - Non-current bonds: €20,425M - Other non-current borrowings: €3,205M - Non-current lease liabilities: €1,580M - Short-term borrowings: €6,368M - Current lease liabilities: €522M - Total gross debt: ~€32,100M - Less cash: €12,578M - Net debt: ~€19,522M At end of 2021 (reported as 2022-01-01): - Non-current bonds: €22,212M - Other non-current borrowings: €2,757M - Non-current lease liabilities: €1,574M - Short-term borrowings: €5,769M - Current lease liabilities: €524M - Total gross debt: ~€32,836M - Less cash: €11,065M - Net debt: ~€21,771M **Leverage Ratios:** - 2022 Net Debt/EBITDA: €19,522M / €10,102M ≈ 1.93x - 2021 Net Debt/EBITDA: €21,771M / €7,657M ≈ 2.84x Even using gross debt: - 2022: €32,100M / €10,102M ≈ 3.18x - 2021: €32,836M / €7,657M ≈ 4.29x The leverage ratio has improved significantly from 2021 to 2022. This is driven by: 1. Strong EBITDA growth (~32%) due to revenue growth from €50B to €62.5B 2. Slight reduction in net debt (lower bonds outstanding, higher cash) Moody's would also add pension obligations and potentially operating leases (already included above). The pension provision decreased from €1,459M to €1,149M, which would further support the improving trend. The combination of substantially higher earnings and modestly lower debt clearly points to an improving leverage trend. Improving
