To estimate the FFO / Net Debt ratio for Enel SpA for the year 2022 based on S&P methodology, we need to calculate Funds From Operations (FFO) and Net Debt. **1. Calculate Funds From Operations (FFO)** According to S&P Global Ratings methodology, FFO is generally calculated as: $$FFO = \text{Net Income} + \text{Depreciation and Amortization} + \text{Other Non-Cash Items} + \text{Changes in Working Capital (sometimes excluded or adjusted, but standard FFO often starts with Net Income + D&A)}$$ However, a more precise S&P definition for industrial/utilities often uses: $$FFO = \text{Net Income attributable to controlling interests} + \text{Depreciation and Amortization} + \text{Deferred Taxes} + \text{Other non-cash items}$$ Let's look at the available data points: * **Net Income (Profit Loss):** The report provides "Profit Loss" for 2022 as 2,920,000,000 EUR. Note that S&P often uses Net Income attributable to the parent or consolidated net income. Let's use the consolidated "Profit Loss" of 2,920,000,000 EUR. Some methodologies prefer "Profit Loss From Continuing Operations" which is 5,218,000,000 EUR. Given the significant loss from discontinued operations (-2,298,000,000 EUR), and S&P's focus on ongoing operations, using Income from Continuing Operations is often more representative for credit analysis, but standard FFO definitions usually start with reported Net Income. Let's calculate both ways or stick to the standard definition: Net Income + D&A. * Reported Net Income (Profit Loss): 2,920,000,000 EUR. * Alternatively, Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent: 1,682,000,000 EUR. * S&P typically adds back non-controlling interests if starting from consolidated net income, or starts with Net Income Attributable to Parent. Let's use **Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent** as the base for equity-related metrics, but for entity-level FFO, Consolidated Net Income is often used with adjustments. Let's look at the Cash Flow from Operations (CFO) as a proxy or build up FFO. * Standard S&P FFO Formula: $FFO = \text{Net Income} + \text{Depreciation & Amortization} + \text{Non-cash charges}$. * From the data: * "Profit Loss" (Consolidated Net Income): 2,920,000,000 EUR. * "Depreciation Amortisation And Impairment Loss Reversal...": 7,447,000,000 EUR. Note: This line item includes impairment reversals. The line "Impairment Loss Reversal... Trade Receivables" is 1,278,000,000 EUR. The main D&A line is likely gross depreciation. Let's assume the 7,447,000,000 EUR is the primary D&A add-back. * Are there other non-cash items? "Share Of Profit Loss Of Associates..." is an equity method adjustment already in Net Income. * Let's check the Cash Flow statement indirect method items to verify non-cash adjustments. * "Adjustments For Depreciation And Amortisation Expense And Impairment Loss Reversal...": 8,809,000,000 EUR. This is higher than the 7,447,000,000 EUR. The difference might be due to specific impairments or other items. The 8,809,000,000 EUR figure from the Cash Flow section is a more comprehensive add-back for non-cash operating items related to D&A and impairments. * "Adjustments For Undistributed Profits Of Investments...": 23,000,000 EUR. * "Adjustments For Losses Gains On Disposal...": -355,000,000 EUR. Let's use the standard approximation: $$FFO \approx \text{Net Income} + \text{Depreciation & Amortization}$$ Using Consolidated Net Income: $$FFO = 2,920,000,000 + 7,447,000,000 = 10,367,000,000 \text{ EUR}$$ Using Net Income from Continuing Operations (often preferred for utilities to exclude one-time discontinued ops): $$FFO_{cont} = 5,218,000,000 + 7,447,000,000 = 12,665,000,000 \text{ EUR}$$ Let's look at "Cash Flows From Used In Operating Activities" (CFO): 8,674,000,000 EUR. S&P defines FFO as CFO before changes in working capital and taxes/interest paid/received if classified as operating. From the cash flow data: * CFO: 8,674,000,000 EUR. * Add back: Income Taxes Paid (1,934,000,000 EUR) and Finance Costs Paid (5,016,000,000 EUR) if they are classified as operating. In many jurisdictions, interest paid is operating. S&P adds back interest and taxes paid to CFO to get to a pre-working capital, pre-interest/tax cash flow metric, then adjusts for working capital. * Actually, a simpler S&P proxy for FFO is: $\text{Net Income} + \text{D\&A}$. * Let's refine the D&A. The line "Depreciation Amortisation And Impairment Loss Reversal Of Impairment Loss Recognised In Profit Or Loss" is 7,447,000,000 EUR. * Let's use the Consolidated Net Income of 2,920,000,000 EUR. * $FFO = 2,920,000,000 + 7,447,000,000 = 10,367,000,000$ EUR. *Self-Correction*: S&P often excludes gains/losses from discontinued operations in the "Net Income" part of FFO for trend analysis, but strictly speaking, FFO starts with reported net income. However, given the large loss from discontinued ops (-2.3B), using Continuing Operations Net Income (5.218B) provides a better view of the ongoing business's ability to service debt. $FFO (based on continuing ops) = 5,218,000,000 + 7,447,000,000 = 12,665,000,000$ EUR. Let's check if there are preferred dividends or non-controlling interests to deduct. S&P FFO is usually pre-non-controlling interest deduction if it's consolidated net income, or attributable to parent. If we use Consolidated Net Income, we don't deduct NCI. If we use Net Income Attributable to Parent (1,682,000,000), we should add back D&A. $FFO (Parent) = 1,682,000,000 + 7,447,000,000 = 9,129,000,000$ EUR. Let's look at Enel's specific reporting. Enel often reports "FFO" in its investor presentations. A common utility FFO definition is EBITDA - Interest - Taxes + Other adjustments. Let's try calculating EBITDA first. Revenue: 140,517,000,000 Operating Expense: 131,689,000,000 Operating Profit (EBIT): $140,517 - 131,689 = 8,828$ million. Wait, "Profit Loss From Operating Activities" is given as 11,193,000,000 EUR. Let's check the components: Revenue (140,517) + Other Income (4,864) + Net Results Commodity Contracts (2,365) + Other Work Capitalized (3,415) - Raw Materials (96,896) - Services (20,228) - Employee Benefits (4,570) - Other Expense (4,685) - Depreciation (7,447) + Impairment Reversal (1,278)? Let's sum expenses: $96,896 + 20,228 + 4,570 + 4,685 + 7,447 = 133,826$. Income: $135,653 (\text{Sales}) + 4,864 + 2,365 + 3,415 = 146,297$. $146,297 - 133,826 = 12,471$. This is close to Operating Profit but not exact. The reported Operating Profit is 11,193. The difference might be due to the impairment reversal treatment or other items. Let's stick to the reported "Profit Loss From Operating Activities": 11,193,000,000 EUR. Add back Depreciation/Amortization: 7,447,000,000 EUR. EBITDA $\approx 11,193 + 7,447 = 18,640,000,000$ EUR. S&P FFO $\approx$ EBITDA - Interest Paid - Taxes Paid + Other Adjustments. Interest Paid (Finance Costs Paid classified as Operating): 5,016,000,000 EUR. Taxes Paid: 1,934,000,000 EUR. $FFO \approx 18,640 - 5,016 - 1,934 = 11,690,000,000$ EUR. This figure (11.69B) is between the "Net Income + D&A" using Continuing Ops (12.67B) and Consolidated Net Income (10.37B). Let's use the **11,690,000,000 EUR** as a robust estimate for FFO. **2. Calculate Net Debt** Net Debt = Total Debt - Cash and Cash Equivalents. * **Total Debt:** * Long-term Borrowings: 68,191,000,000 EUR * Short-term Borrowings: 18,392,000,000 EUR * Current Portion of Long-term Borrowings: 2,835,000,000 EUR * Total Borrowings = $68,191 + 18,392 + 2,835 = 89,418,000,000$ EUR. * Are there other debt-like items? S&P often includes lease liabilities. The data doesn't explicitly break out lease liabilities in the debt lines provided, but "Other Noncurrent Financial Liabilities" is 0 and "Other Current Financial Liabilities" is 853,000,000. These might include derivatives or other items. Derivatives are listed separately. * Let's check "Noncurrent Derivative Financial Liabilities" (5,895,000,000) and "Current Derivative Financial Liabilities" (16,141,000,000). S&P typically excludes derivatives from Net Debt unless they are synthetic debt, but usually, they are treated separately or netted against assets. Standard Net Debt uses interest-bearing borrowings. * So, Gross Debt = 89,418,000,000 EUR. * **Cash and Cash Equivalents:** * From the Balance Sheet: "Cash And Cash Equivalents" 2023-01-01 (which is the end of 2022): 11,041,000,000 EUR. * Note: The prompt asks for the ratio *for* 2022. We should use the year-end 2022 balance sheet figures (dated 2023-01-01 in the report). * Cash = 11,041,000,000 EUR. * **Net Debt:** * $Net Debt = 89,418,000,000 - 11,041,000,000 = 78,377,000,000$ EUR. **3. Calculate FFO / Net Debt Ratio** * $FFO = 11,690,000,000$ EUR (Estimated via EBITDA - Interest - Taxes) * $Net Debt = 78,377,000,000$ EUR * $Ratio = 11,690 / 78,377 \approx 0.149$ or $14.9\%$ Let's double-check with the other FFO estimate (Consolidated Net Income + D&A): * $FFO = 10,367,000,000$ EUR * $Ratio = 10,367 / 78,377 \approx 0.132$ or $13.2\%$ Let's double-check with Continuing Ops Net Income + D&A: * $FFO = 12,665,000,000$ EUR * $Ratio = 12,665 / 78,377 \approx 0.161$ or $16.1\%$ S&P methodology for utilities often adds back deferred taxes and adjusts for working capital changes less strictly than pure CFO. Let's look at the "Cash Flows From Used In Operating Activities" again: 8,674,000,000. If we add back Interest Paid (5,016) and Taxes Paid (1,934), we get $8,674 + 5,016 + 1,934 = 15,624,000,000$. This is "Cash Flow from Operations before Interest and Taxes". S&P FFO is typically closer to Net Income + D&A. The difference between 15.6B and 11.7B is largely Working Capital changes and other non-cash items. "Increase Decrease In Working Capital" was 3,961,000,000 (positive inflow). So $CFO (8,674) = Operating Cash Flow before WC (approx 12,635) + WC (3,961) - Interest/Taxes? No, CFO is after interest/taxes if classified as operating. Let's reconstruct: Operating Profit: 11,193 + D&A: 7,447 = Gross Cash Flow: 18,640 - Tax Paid: 1,934 - Interest Paid: 5,016 = 11,690. This matches my EBITDA-based derivation. This metric (11.69B) is a very strong proxy for FFO in the absence of specific "Funds From Operations" line items, as it represents the cash generated by operations available to service debt before working capital fluctuations. However, standard FFO *includes* working capital changes in the sense that it starts with Net Income (which accrues WC) and adds back non-cash D&A. It does *not* add back WC changes. So, $FFO = Net Income + D&A$. Which Net Income? S&P usually uses Consolidated Net Income including non-controlling interests for the numerator if the denominator (Debt) is consolidated gross debt. Consolidated Net Income: 2,920,000,000. D&A: 7,447,000,000. FFO = 10,367,000,000. Let's check if there are significant "Other non-cash items" to add. "Share of profit of associates": 4,000,000 (negligible). "Impairment reversal": Included in D&A line? The line is "Depreciation Amortisation And Impairment Loss Reversal...". Yes. So FFO = 10,367,000,000 EUR. Net Debt = 78,377,000,000 EUR. Ratio = $10,367 / 78,377 = 0.1322$. Let's consider if "Net Debt" should include lease liabilities. Enel has significant lease liabilities. In the provided data, "Longterm Borrowings" and "Shortterm Borrowings" are explicit. IFRS 16 lease liabilities are often included in "Borrowings" or separate lines. If they are not in "Borrowings", they might be in "Other Noncurrent Liabilities" (4,246,000,000) or "Other Current Liabilities". Without explicit identification, we stick to explicit Borrowings. However, S&P *does* capitalize leases and include them in debt. If we assume a portion of "Other Liabilities" or "Provisions" are leases, Net Debt would be higher, and the ratio lower. But based *strictly* on the provided facts, we can only sum the explicit Borrowings. Let's refine the Net Debt calculation. Long-term Borrowings: 68,191 Short-term Borrowings: 18,392 Current Portion LT Borrowings: 2,835 Total Debt = 89,418. Cash: 11,041. Net Debt = 78,377. FFO = 10,367. Ratio = 13.2%. Let's try one alternative interpretation. Sometimes FFO is defined as CFO + Interest Paid + Tax Paid. CFO = 8,674. Interest Paid = 5,016. Tax Paid = 1,934. Sum = 15,624. This is effectively EBITDA - Change in WC - Other non-cash/working capital adjustments. S&P's definition: "FFO is net income plus depreciation, amortization, and other noncash items." Net Income (2,920) + D&A (7,447) = 10,367. Are there other noncash items? "Adjustments For Undistributed Profits Of Investments": 23. "Adjustments For Losses Gains On Disposal": -355. "Other Adjustments For Noncash Items": -927. If we add these to Net Income: $2,920 + 7,447 + 23 - 355 - 927 = 9,108$. This is lower. However, the "Depreciation..." line of 7,447 might not capture all D&A if there are impairments separated. The Cash Flow adjustment for D&A is 8,809. If we use the Cash Flow D&A adjustment: $FFO = 2,920 (\text{Net Income}) + 8,809 (\text{D\&A Adj}) = 11,729$. This aligns closely with the 11,690 derived from EBITDA. Why the difference between 7,447 and 8,809? 7,447 is "Depreciation Amortisation And Impairment Loss Reversal...". 8,809 is "Adjustments For Depreciation And Amortisation Expense And Impairment Loss Reversal...". The difference (1,362) could be related to the "Impairment Loss Reversal Of Impairment Loss Recognised In Profit Or Loss Trade Receivables" (1,278) plus other small items. Actually, the 7,447 line *includes* impairment reversals. The 8,809 line is the cash flow add-back. Usually, the Cash Flow add-back is the most accurate "non-cash expense" figure to add to Net Income to get to Operating Cash Flow before WC. So, $FFO \approx 2,920 + 8,809 = 11,729$ million. Let's use **11,729,000,000 EUR** as the FFO estimate. Net Debt = **78,377,000,000 EUR**. Ratio = $11,729 / 78,377 = 0.1496$. Rounding to two decimal places, this is **0.15**. Let's check if the previous year's ratio helps calibrate. 2021 Net Income: 3,857. 2021 D&A Adj: 8,691. 2021 FFO Est: $3,857 + 8,691 = 12,548$. 2021 Debt: LT Borrowings: 54,500. ST Borrowings: 13,306. Cur Port LT: 4,031. Total Debt: 71,837. Cash: 8,858. Net Debt: 62,979. Ratio 2021: $12,548 / 62,979 = 0.199$. Enel's credit metrics are typically in the 15-20% range for FFO/Net Debt. A drop to 15% in 2022 due to higher debt and lower income (due to discontinued ops) makes sense. Final Calculation: FFO = 11,729,000,000 EUR Net Debt = 78,377,000,000 EUR Ratio = 0.1496 0.15
