To estimate the S&P-adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio for Terna S.p.A. for the fiscal year 2022, we follow the prescribed workflow. **Step 1: Industry Identification** Terna S.p.A. is an electricity transmission system operator in Italy. This qualifies it as a "Regulated Utility" under the provided S&P sector descriptions. **Step 2: Estimate Adjusted_Debt** * **Reported Debt:** This includes long-term borrowings and short-term borrowings. * Long-term borrowings (2022-01-01): 8,835,000,000 EUR * Short-term borrowings (2022-01-01): 1,947,000,000 EUR * Current portion of long-term borrowings (2022-01-01): 1,640,000,000 EUR * Total Reported Debt = 8,835.0M + 1,947.0M + 1,640.0M = 12,422,000,000 EUR * **Leases/Other:** Not explicitly detailed to a degree requiring significant deviation; we use standard reported figures. * **Eligible Cash:** Cash and cash equivalents (2022-01-01): 1,566,800,000 EUR. * **Adjusted_Debt** = 12,422,000,000 - 1,566,800,000 = 10,855,200,000 EUR. **Step 3: Estimate Adjusted_EBITDA** * **Reported EBITDA:** * Operating Profit: 1,333,500,000 EUR * Add: Depreciation, Amortisation, and Impairment: 725,700,000 EUR * Reported EBITDA = 1,333,500,000 + 725,700,000 = 2,059,200,000 EUR. * **Adjustments:** In the absence of specific data regarding lease adjustments or non-recurring items from the provided statements, the Reported EBITDA is the best proxy for Adjusted EBITDA for this calculation. * **Adjusted_EBITDA** = 2,059,200,000 EUR. **Step 4: Calculate Adjusted_Debt / Adjusted_EBITDA** * Ratio = 10,855,200,000 / 2,059,200,000 = 5.2715... Rounding to two decimal places, we get 5.27. 5.27
