S&P-style FFO / Net debt can be approximated as: - **FFO** ≈ cash flow from operations before working capital movements - **Net debt** ≈ financial debt minus cash and readily available financial assets Using the provided EDF 2022 data: 1. **Operating cash flow before working capital** - Net cash flow from operations before net financial expenses and income taxes: **−€5.140bn** - Working capital movement: **−€8.301bn** - Therefore, cash-flow-before-working-capital proxy: **−5.140 − (−8.301) = €3.161bn** 2. **Adjust for cash interest and tax to approximate FFO** - Net financial expenses disbursed including dividends received: **€1.003bn** - Income taxes paid/refund: **€1.282bn** - FFO proxy: **3.161 − 1.003 − 1.282 = €0.876bn** 3. **Net debt** - Other noncurrent financial liabilities: **€71.058bn** - Other current financial liabilities: **€71.844bn** - Gross financial debt proxy: **71.058 + 71.844 = €142.902bn** - Cash and cash equivalents: **€10.948bn** - Other current financial assets: **€58.033bn** - Other noncurrent financial assets: **€48.512bn** - Net debt proxy: **142.902 − 10.948 − 58.033 − 48.512 = €25.409bn** 4. **FFO / Net debt** - **0.876 / 25.409 = 0.0345**, or about **3.45%** 3.45%
