I'll follow the workflow step-by-step to estimate the S&P-adjusted FFO-to-debt ratio for Terna S.p.A. ## Step 1: Identify the Relevant Industry Terna S.p.A. is identified as "TERNA - RETE ELETTRICA NAZIONALE SOCIETA' PER AZIONI" (National Electricity Network Company). Based on the company's name and business description, it operates as an electricity transmission and distribution utility in Italy. **Relevant Industry Methodology: Regulated Utilities** Terna operates as a regulated utility providing essential electricity transmission infrastructure with regulatory oversight. This falls under the "Regulated Utilities" industry methodology. ## Step 2: Estimate Adjusted_EBITDA From the financial statements for the year ended 2023-01-01 (fiscal year 2022): **Baseline EBITDA Reconstruction:** - Operating Income (Profit/Loss from Operating Activities): €1,333,500,000 - Add: Depreciation, Amortisation and Impairment: €725,700,000 **EBITDA = €1,333,500,000 + €725,700,000 = €2,059,200,000** **Adjustments for S&P methodology:** For regulated utilities, we need to check for: - Operating lease adjustments - Non-recurring items - Pension adjustments - Joint venture adjustments From the data provided: - Non-recurring gains/losses: The data shows "Adjustments For Gain Loss On Disposals Property Plant And Equipment" of -€6,900,000 (gain on disposal). This is typical operational and should be normalized. - Pension adjustments: "Other Comprehensive Income Net Of Tax Gains Losses On Remeasurements Of Defined Benefit Plans" shows -€10,400,000 in 2022 **Pension Adjustment:** The net loss on pension remeasurements of €10,400,000 should be added back as a non-cash item. **Adjusted_EBITDA = €2,059,200,000 + €10,400,000 = €2,069,600,000** ## Step 3: Estimate FFO **Formula:** FFO = Adjusted_EBITDA - Cash_Interest - Cash_Taxes **Cash Interest Paid:** From cash flow statement: "Interest Paid Classified As Operating Activities" = €154,800,000 **Cash Taxes Paid:** From cash flow statement: "Income Taxes Paid Refund Classified As Operating Activities" = €380,100,000 **FFO = €2,069,600,000 - €154,800,000 - €380,100,000** **FFO = €1,534,700,000** ## Step 4: Estimate Adjusted_Debt **Reported Debt Components (as of 2023-01-01, end of fiscal year 2022):** Short-term borrowings: €444,100,000 Current portion of long-term borrowings: €1,909,300,000 Long-term borrowings: €8,416,700,000 **Total Reported Debt = €444,100,000 + €1,909,300,000 + €8,416,700,000 = €10,770,100,000** **Adjustments:** 1. **Hybrid Instruments (Equity Instruments Perpetual Hybrid Bonds):** From equity section, "Capital Instruments Bonds Hybrid Perpetual" = €989,000,000 Per S&P methodology for regulated utilities, hybrid debt instruments should be included in adjusted debt. The portion treated as debt is typically 50% of the hybrid amount for credit analysis. Hybrid Debt Adjustment = €989,000,000 × 0.50 = €494,500,000 2. **Lease Adjustments:** For operating leases, data is not separately disclosed in the balance sheet with specific lease liability amounts. No material lease adjustments appear necessary based on available data. 3. **Pension Deficit:** "Noncurrent Provisions For Employee Benefits" = €60,800,000 (2022-01-01) This is already captured on the balance sheet and may need adjustment if representing a deficit, but appears to be a provision. No additional adjustment needed. 4. **Cash and Cash Equivalents (Eligible Cash to Subtract):** Cash and cash equivalents as of 2022-01-01: €1,566,800,000 For regulated utilities, we typically exclude operating cash balance. A reasonable buffer might be €200-300 million. Using a conservative approach, we'll use 75% of reported cash as eligible reduction. Eligible Cash Reduction = €1,566,800,000 × 0.75 = €1,175,100,000 **Adjusted_Debt = €10,770,100,000 + €494,500,000 - €1,175,100,000** **Adjusted_Debt = €10,089,500,000** ## Step 5: Calculate FFO / Adjusted_Debt **FFO / Adjusted_Debt = €1,534,700,000 / €10,089,500,000** **FFO / Adjusted_Debt = 0.152084** Rounded to four decimal places: **0.1521** 0.1521
