To estimate the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio for ERG S.p.A. for 2022 based on the S&P methodology, I will follow these steps: **1. Determine EBITDA** From the data, "Profit Loss From Operating Activities Before Interest Taxes Depreciation And Amortisation Expense" for 2022 is: 499,430,000 EUR **2. Determine Net Debt under S&P methodology** Net Debt = Total Debt - Cash and Cash Equivalents (with adjustments for operating leases, pensions, etc., per S&P). We are given "Noncurrent Financial Liabilities At Fair Value Through Profit Or Loss" (2023-01-01: -0.0), but we'll include all financial debt. From the balance sheet at the end of 2022 (2023-01-01): - **Debt**: - Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities: 1,751,255,000 EUR (likely includes bonds, bank borrowings) - Noncurrent Lease Liabilities: 150,955,000 EUR - Current Financial Liabilities At Fair Value Through Profit Or Loss: 76,644,000 EUR - Other Current Financial Liabilities: 389,716,000 EUR - Current Lease Liabilities: 6,362,000 EUR Total Debt = 1,751,255,000 + 150,955,000 + 76,644,000 + 389,716,000 + 6,362,000 = 2,374,932,000 EUR - **Cash and Cash Equivalents**: Cash and Cash Equivalents: 392,811,000 EUR - **Net Debt** = 2,374,932,000 - 392,811,000 = 1,982,121,000 EUR **3. Compute Net Debt / EBITDA** = 1,982,121,000 / 499,430,000 ≈ 3.968 The final ratio rounded to two decimals is 3.97. 3.97
