I'll estimate the FFO/Net Debt ratio for VINCI at end of 2022 using S&P methodology. ## Step 1: Estimate Funds From Operations (FFO) - S&P Methodology S&P's FFO starts with net income attributable to the company, then adds back depreciation/amortization, and makes various adjustments. **Starting with Net Income (Profit/Loss):** - Profit/Loss = €4,417M (2022) **Add back: Depreciation & Amortization:** - D&A = €3,613M **Deduct: Gains on disposal of non-current assets:** - Already included in profit, adjustment = -€68M (gain), so we'd add back the negative adjustment = -€68M **S&P FFO adjustments typically include:** - Add back: Share-based payment expense (non-cash): €162M (from cash flow adjustments) - Add back: Fair value adjustments: -€236M (this was a gain, so subtract) - Add back: Undistributed profits of equity method investments: €42M - Deduct: Interest income on cash equivalents (sometimes) **S&P simplified FFO:** FFO ≈ Net Income + D&A + Non-cash adjustments from operating CF From the cash flow statement, Cash Flows from Operations before WC changes = €10,215M This already includes adjustments for D&A, provisions, share-based payments, fair value, equity method, finance costs, and tax. **S&P FFO ≈ Cash from Operations before Working Capital - Net Finance Costs paid - Taxes paid** = €10,215M - €563M (interest paid/received net) - €1,603M (taxes paid) = €8,049M But S&P typically uses: FFO = CFO + WC changes back (i.e., before WC) - interest paid - taxes paid. Actually, CFO already includes interest and taxes. Let me reconsider. **CFO = €9,387M** (this already deducts interest, taxes, and includes WC changes) S&P FFO = CFO + WC changes = €9,387M + €392M = €9,779M (approximately, before working capital) Wait - S&P FFO = CFO adjusted to remove working capital changes. Since WC decreased by €392M (negative = cash outflow), adding it back: FFO ≈ €9,387M + €392M = €9,779M But we should also remove the "Other inflows" of €854M if it's one-time: FFO ≈ €9,779M - €854M = €8,925M (conservative) Let me use the simpler approach: **FFO ≈ €9,779M** ## Step 2: Calculate Net Debt - S&P Methodology **Gross Debt:** - Non-current bonds: €20,425M - Other non-current borrowings: €3,205M - Short-term borrowings: €6,368M - Lease liabilities (non-current + current): €1,580M + €522M = €2,102M - Total Gross Debt = €20,425M + €3,205M + €6,368M + €2,102M = €32,100M **Cash & Equivalents:** - Cash and cash equivalents: €12,578M - Current cash management financial assets: €755M - S&P typically haircuts cash; using accessible cash ≈ €12,578M + €755M = €13,333M But S&P may not credit all cash. Let's use a conservative approach and credit most of it. **Net Debt = €32,100M - €13,333M = €18,767M** S&P might also add pension obligations (€1,149M) and adjust for operating leases (already included above), and net derivative positions. **Adjusted Net Debt ≈ €18,767M + €1,149M = €19,916M** ## Step 3: FFO/Net Debt Ratio FFO/Net Debt = €9,779M / €19,916M ≈ 0.49 Or with more conservative FFO (~€8,925M): €8,925M / €19,916M ≈ 0.45 A reasonable mid-point estimate: ~0.47 0.47
