I need to estimate Moody's adjusted leverage trend for 2022. Moody's adjusted leverage is typically measured as Adjusted Debt / Adjusted EBITDA. Let me analyze the key components: **EBITDA (Profit Loss From Operating Activities Before Interest Taxes Depreciation And Amortisation Expense):** - 2022: 32,057 million DKK - 2021: 24,296 million DKK - EBITDA increased significantly (~32% growth) **Debt Analysis:** Gross debt components at end of 2022 (2023-01-01) vs end of 2021 (2022-01-01): - Long-term borrowings: 60,451 vs 31,502 million DKK (nearly doubled) - Short-term borrowings: 2,830 vs 19,493 million DKK - Total borrowings: 63,281 vs 50,995 million DKK (increase of ~24%) - Lease liabilities (non-current + current): 8,266 vs 7,532 million DKK - Hybrid capital: 19,793 vs 17,984 million DKK Moody's typically treats hybrid capital with partial equity/debt credit (usually 50% equity, 50% debt for investment-grade issuers). **Moody's Adjusted Debt estimate:** - End 2022: 63,281 + 8,266 + 50% × 19,793 = 63,281 + 8,266 + 9,897 = ~81,444 million DKK - End 2021: 50,995 + 7,532 + 50% × 17,984 = 50,995 + 7,532 + 8,992 = ~67,519 million DKK **Moody's Adjusted Leverage:** - 2022: 81,444 / 32,057 ≈ 2.54x - 2021: 67,519 / 24,296 ≈ 2.78x The leverage ratio declined from approximately 2.78x to 2.54x, suggesting improvement. However, let me also consider that gross debt increased substantially (from ~67.5B to ~81.4B), but EBITDA grew even more proportionally. Additionally, looking at cash flow: Operating cash flows were roughly stable (11,924 vs 12,148), while investing activities increased significantly (-17,912 vs -12,591). The company took on significantly more long-term debt (60,451 vs 31,502). The debt increase is substantial in absolute terms. But the leverage RATIO improved because EBITDA growth outpaced debt growth percentage-wise. The ratio went from ~2.78x to ~2.54x. Also considering FFO/Debt: Net income improved, EBITDA improved, but the absolute debt load increased significantly. The trend in the ratio is what matters most for Moody's assessment. On balance, while absolute debt increased significantly, the EBITDA growth was strong enough to bring the leverage ratio down modestly. However, the massive increase in absolute debt (especially long-term borrowings nearly doubling) and the heavy capital spending could be viewed with some concern. The improvement in the ratio is moderate. Given the leverage ratio improved from ~2.78x to ~2.54x, this suggests an improving trend. Deteriorating
