# FFO / Net Debt Ratio Calculation for Fortum Oyj (2022) ## Reasoning The FFO (Funds From Operations) / Net Debt ratio is a key credit metric used by S&P. Let me calculate each component: ### 1. Funds From Operations (FFO) S&P's FFO formula is: **FFO = Net Income + Depreciation & Amortization + Non-recurring/Non-cash items adjustments - Changes in Working Capital** From the data for 2021-01-01 to 2022-01-01: - Profit Loss From Continuing Operations (Net Income): 4,008,000,000 EUR - Depreciation And Amortisation Expense: 587,000,000 EUR - Adjustments For Alternative Performance Measures (items affecting comparability): 2,897,000,000 EUR - Increase Decrease In Working Capital: 494,000,000 EUR However, for continuing operations cash flow approach: - Cash Flows From Used In Operations Before Changes In Working Capital: 1,613,000,000 EUR - Increase Decrease In Working Capital: 494,000,000 EUR - Cash Flows From Used In Operating Activities Continuing Operations: 1,119,000,000 EUR Let me use the operating cash flow from continuing operations as a proxy for FFO: **FFO = 1,119,000,000 EUR** (from continuing operations operating cash flow) For a more comprehensive view including discontinued operations might be relevant, but S&P typically focuses on continuing operations for credit analysis. ### 2. Net Debt Calculation Net Debt = Total Debt - Cash and Cash Equivalents From balance sheet data at 2022-01-01: - Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities: 8,701,000,000 EUR - Current Borrowings (implied from Other Current Financial Liabilities): 8,519,000,000 EUR - Total Debt ≈ 17,220,000,000 EUR - Liquid Funds (Cash): 7,592,000,000 EUR **Net Debt = 17,220,000,000 - 7,592,000,000 = 9,628,000,000 EUR** ### 3. FFO / Net Debt Ratio **Ratio = 1,119,000,000 / 9,628,000,000 = 0.116 or 11.6%** This indicates relatively weak cash generation relative to debt burden, which is reasonable given the energy company's capital-intensive nature and the volatile commodity price environment in 2022. 0.12
