I need to calculate Net Debt / EBITDA for 2022 (fiscal year ending 2023-01-01) using S&P methodology. ## S&P Net Debt Calculation S&P's Net Debt typically includes: - Short-term borrowings - Long-term borrowings - Lease liabilities (S&P typically includes operating lease liabilities) - Minus: Cash and cash equivalents - Minus: Short-term investments (sometimes) Let me identify the components at 2023-01-01 (end of fiscal 2022): **Total Debt:** - Long-term Borrowings: 12,689M EUR - Current Borrowings and Current Portion of Non-current Borrowings: 2,110M EUR - Non-current Lease Liabilities: 1,309M EUR - Current Lease Liabilities: 177M EUR Total Gross Debt = 12,689 + 2,110 + 1,309 + 177 = 16,285M EUR **Cash and Cash Equivalents:** 3,985M EUR **Net Debt** = 16,285 - 3,985 = 12,300M EUR ## S&P EBITDA Calculation S&P uses adjusted EBITDA. The company reports EBITDA (Beneficio Bruto De Explotacion Ebitda) for 2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01 as 4,954M EUR. Under S&P methodology, EBITDA typically includes lease depreciation (since lease liabilities are treated as debt). S&P adds back operating lease payments and treats them as debt-like. However, since this company already reports under IFRS 16 (leases are capitalized), the EBITDA figure already excludes lease expenses (they're split into depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest on lease liabilities). So EBITDA of 4,954M should already reflect IFRS 16 treatment, which is consistent with S&P's approach. S&P also sometimes adjusts for non-recurring items, but with the data available, I'll use the reported EBITDA of 4,954M EUR. ## Net Debt / EBITDA Net Debt / EBITDA = 12,300 / 4,954 ≈ 2.48 Let me double-check: S&P might not subtract all cash. Sometimes they apply a haircut, but typically for investment-grade companies, they allow full cash offset. I'll use the straightforward calculation. 12,300 / 4,954 = 2.483 2.5
