To estimate **Net Debt / EBITDA** for 2022 under a simplified **S&P-style methodology**, use adjusted debt-like obligations net of cash, and EBITDA based on operating profit plus depreciation/amortization and impairment-type charges. **1. Estimate gross financial debt** From the 2022 year-end balance sheet, financial borrowings are: - Long-term borrowings: €68.191bn - Short-term borrowings: €18.392bn - Current portion of long-term borrowings: €2.835bn Gross borrowings: \[ 68.191 + 18.392 + 2.835 = 89.418 \] So, gross debt ≈ **€89.418bn**. **2. Subtract cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents at 2022 year-end: \[ 11.041 \] Net debt: \[ 89.418 - 11.041 = 78.377 \] So, estimated net debt ≈ **€78.377bn**. **3. Estimate EBITDA** Start with profit from operating activities: - Profit from operating activities: €11.193bn Add back depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses: - Depreciation, amortisation and impairment: €7.447bn EBITDA estimate: \[ 11.193 + 7.447 = 18.640 \] So, EBITDA ≈ **€18.640bn**. **4. Compute Net Debt / EBITDA** \[ \frac{78.377}{18.640} = 4.2048 \] Rounded: \[ \approx 4.20 \] 4.20
