I need to calculate Net Debt / EBITDA for both 2022 and 2023 (using balance sheet dates 2022-01-01 and 2023-01-01, and income/cash flow periods ending at those dates). **Step 1: Calculate Net Debt** Net Debt = Total Borrowings (short-term + long-term + current portion of long-term) + Lease Liabilities - Cash and Cash Equivalents - Current Financial Assets at Fair Value **For 2023-01-01 (end of 2022):** - Short-term Borrowings: 4,446M - Current Portion of Long-term Borrowings: 3,097M - Long-term Borrowings: 19,374M - Current Lease Liabilities: 884M - Non-current Lease Liabilities: 4,067M - Total Debt = 4,446 + 3,097 + 19,374 + 884 + 4,067 = 31,868M - Cash and Cash Equivalents: 10,155M - Current Financial Assets at FV through P&L: 8,251M - Net Debt = 31,868 - 10,155 - 8,251 = 13,462M **For 2022-01-01 (end of 2021):** - Short-term Borrowings: 2,299M - Current Portion of Long-term Borrowings: 1,781M - Long-term Borrowings: 23,714M - Current Lease Liabilities: 948M - Non-current Lease Liabilities: 4,389M - Total Debt = 2,299 + 1,781 + 23,714 + 948 + 4,389 = 33,131M - Cash and Cash Equivalents: 8,254M - Current Financial Assets at FV through P&L: 6,301M - Net Debt = 33,131 - 8,254 - 6,301 = 18,576M **Step 2: Calculate EBITDA** EBITDA = Profit from Operating Activities + Depreciation & Amortisation + Impairment + Write-offs **For period 2022-01-01 to 2023-01-01 (FY2022):** - Operating Profit: 17,510M - D&A: 7,205M - Impairment: 1,140M - Write-offs: 599M - EBITDA = 17,510 + 7,205 + 1,140 + 599 = 26,454M **For period 2021-01-01 to 2022-01-01 (FY2021):** - Operating Profit: 12,341M - D&A: 7,063M - Impairment: 167M - Write-offs: 387M - EBITDA = 12,341 + 7,063 + 167 + 387 = 19,958M **Step 3: Calculate Net Debt / EBITDA ratios** - FY2022 (using 2023-01-01 balance sheet / FY2022 EBITDA): 13,462 / 26,454 = 0.51x - FY2021 (using 2022-01-01 balance sheet / FY2021 EBITDA): 18,576 / 19,958 = 0.93x **Step 4: Calculate the gap** Gap = 0.51x - 0.93x = -0.42x The ratio decreased by 0.42x year-on-year, which is more than 0.3x improvement. This indicates an **Improving** leverage trend. Improving
