Okay, let’s break this down step by step using S&P’s methodology for net debt / EBITDA. **Step 1 – Calculate EBITDA for 2022** The income statement provides: Profit (Loss) from Operating Activities = 17,510,000,000 EUR in 2022. Depreciation & Amortisation = 7,205,000,000 EUR Impairment Loss = 1,140,000,000 EUR Write-off of Tangible and Intangible Assets = 599,000,000 EUR EBITDA = Operating Profit + Depreciation/Amortisation + Impairments + Write-offs = 17,510M + 7,205M + 1,140M + 599M = **26,454,000,000 EUR** **Step 2 – Calculate Net Debt per S&P methodology** We look at: - Short-term borrowings (current) = 4,446M - Current portion of long-term borrowings = 3,097M - Current lease liabilities = 884M - Long-term borrowings = 19,374M - Non-current lease liabilities = 4,067M *Less*: - Cash and cash equivalents = 10,155M - Current financial assets at FV through P&L (if liquid) = 8,251M - Other current financial assets (if liquid/investments) = 1,504M S&P normally includes easily monetizable current financial assets in offsetting debt. Total Debt = 4,446 + 3,097 + 884 + 19,374 + 4,067 = **31,868M** Total Cash & Liquid assets = 10,155 + 8,251 + 1,504 = **19,910M** Net Debt = 31,868 – 19,910 = **11,958M EUR** **Step 3 – Ratio** Net Debt / EBITDA = 11,958 / 26,454 ≈ **0.452** Final answer: 0.452
