I'll estimate the FFO/Net Debt ratio for Ferrovial SA for 2022 based on S&P methodology. ## Step 1: Estimate FFO (Funds From Operations) S&P's FFO typically starts with net income from continuing operations, adds back depreciation/amortization, and adjusts for non-cash items and deferred taxes. **Starting with Cash Flows from Operations (CFO):** 1,002M EUR (2022-2023 period) However, S&P's FFO is typically: - Net Income from continuing operations + D&A + Deferred tax adjustments + other non-cash items - gains on disposals Let me work from the operating cash flow approach: **CFO:** 1,002M EUR S&P FFO adjustments from CFO: - Remove working capital changes: -83M EUR (subtract the positive working capital increase) - CFO before working capital = 1,002 - 83 = 919M EUR (approximately the "gross profit loss including discontinued operations" concept) Actually, let me recalculate more carefully: **S&P FFO ≈ CFO - Working Capital Changes** FFO = CFO - Increase in Working Capital = 1,002 - 83 = 919M EUR But S&P also typically excludes capex-related items from FFO. Let me also consider lease payments are already in CFO. S&P FFO ≈ 919M EUR (roughly) ## Step 2: Calculate Net Debt (S&P methodology) S&P Net Debt includes: - Short-term borrowings: 877M - Long-term borrowings: 10,776M - Lease liabilities (current + noncurrent): 64 + 120 = 184M - Less: Cash and cash equivalents: 5,130M - Less: Restricted cash (some portion may not be deducted) **Gross Debt:** - Noncurrent borrowings: 10,776M - Current borrowings: 877M - Lease liabilities: 184M - Other noncurrent financial liabilities: 838M (S&P may include some of this) - Total gross debt ≈ 10,776 + 877 + 184 + 838 = 12,675M **Cash deductions:** - Cash & equivalents: 5,130M - However, S&P may not give full credit for infrastructure project restricted cash - Accessible cash (excluding infrastructure project cash): 4,962M - S&P typically uses readily available cash: ~4,962M **Net Debt ≈ 12,675 - 4,962 = 7,713M EUR** If we exclude the "Other noncurrent financial liabilities" (which may include derivatives or contingent items): Net Debt = 10,776 + 877 + 184 - 5,130 = 6,707M EUR S&P would likely include lease liabilities and may include surplus cash adjustments. A reasonable middle estimate: **Net Debt ≈ 11,837 - 5,130 = 6,707M EUR** (without other financial liabilities) Or with other financial liabilities: ~7,545M EUR ## Step 3: FFO/Net Debt Ratio Using FFO ≈ 919M and Net Debt ≈ 6,707M: FFO/Net Debt = 919/6,707 = 13.7% Using the broader debt definition (~7,545M): FFO/Net Debt = 919/7,545 = 12.2% A reasonable central estimate is approximately 12-14%. Given S&P's typical conservative approach (including lease liabilities, potentially some restricted cash adjustments), I'll estimate: FFO/Net Debt ≈ 13% 0.13
