Let’s go step-by-step. First, we need **Net Debt / EBITDA** for both 2021 and 2022. --- ### 1. EBITDA for 2022 & 2021 EBITDA here is **“Operating Profit Before Depreciation And Amortisation”**: - 2022: -4,986,000,000 EUR - 2021: 18,005,000,000 EUR --- ### 2. Net Debt No direct “Net Debt” line; we must estimate it as: **Net Debt = Borrowings – Cash & Cash Equivalents** From the balance sheet: - **Borrowings** = “Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities” + “Other Current Financial Liabilities” 2022: - Noncurrent: 71,058,000,000 - Current: 71,844,000,000 - Total Borrowings: 142,902,000,000 2021: - Noncurrent: 56,543,000,000 - Current: 45,014,000,000 - Total Borrowings: 101,557,000,000 **Cash and cash equivalents**: - 2022: 10,948,000,000 - 2021: 9,919,000,000 **Net Debt**: - 2022: 142,902,000,000 – 10,948,000,000 = 131,954,000,000 - 2021: 101,557,000,000 – 9,919,000,000 = 91,638,000,000 --- ### 3. Net Debt / EBITDA - 2022: 131,954 / -4,986 = **-26.47x** - 2021: 91,638 / 18,005 = **5.09x** --- ### 4. Year-on-year change - Difference = (-26.47) – 5.09 = **-31.56x** This is a massive deterioration, far beyond the ±0.3x threshold. --- Deteriorating
