The company’s financials for 2022 show strong operating performance from continuing operations: revenue of €8.8 bn, EBITDA of €2.4 bn, and operating cash flow of €2.1 bn. Interest coverage is robust at around 13× (EBITDA/interest expense) and net finance costs are well covered. Leverage, approximated by net debt (≈€8.9 bn) to EBITDA (≈3.7×), is moderate for a utility. Although the 2022 net result is heavily impacted by a large loss from discontinued operations (≈‑€11.3 bn) and equity fell from €13.7 bn to €7.7 bn, the underlying business remains profitable and cash‑generative. The equity base, while reduced, is still substantial relative to typical hybrid bond sizes, and the company’s ability to service coupons and defer payments appears feasible given its cash flow and coverage metrics. Therefore, the company meets the basic criteria for issuing hybrid bonds but with some notable concerns regarding recent losses and equity erosion, indicating it is **marginally suitable**.
