To estimate the S&P-adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio for VINCI for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, we apply the standard S&P global corporate methodology and the specific rules for the Transportation Infrastructure sector, though the core adjustments to Debt and EBITDA remain consistent with the standard baseline formulas. **1. Estimate Adjusted Debt** We gather the reported debt, add debt-like obligations (leases, pension deficit), and subtract eligible cash. * **Reported Debt:** * Short-term borrowings: 6,368,000,000 * Noncurrent portion of noncurrent bonds issued: 20,425,000,000 * Noncurrent portion of other noncurrent borrowings: 3,205,000,000 * *Reported Debt Subtotal = 29,998,000,000* * **Leases:** * Current lease liabilities: 522,000,000 * Noncurrent lease liabilities: 1,580,000,000 * *Leases Subtotal = 2,102,000,000* * **Pension Deficit:** * Noncurrent provisions for employee benefits = 1,149,000,000 * **Gross Adjusted Debt** = 29,998,000,000 + 2,102,000,000 + 1,149,000,000 = 33,249,000,000 * **Eligible Cash:** * Cash and cash equivalents: 12,578,000,000 * Current cash management financial assets (highly liquid investments): 755,000,000 * *Eligible Cash Subtotal = 13,333,000,000* **Net Adjusted Debt** = 33,249,000,000 - 13,333,000,000 = **19,916,000,000 EUR** **2. Estimate Adjusted EBITDA** We reconstruct the EBITDA from the reported operating profit, adding back depreciation and amortization (D&A), excluding non-recurring items, and adjusting for joint ventures (excluding equity share of profits and adding back actual cash dividends received). * **Reported EBIT (Profit/Loss from Operating Activities):** 6,489,000,000 * **Add D&A:** 3,613,000,000 (Adjustments for depreciation and amortisation expense) * *Reported EBITDA = 10,102,000,000* * **Exclude Non-Recurring Items:** Deduct net non-recurring income/gains (Other operating income/expense non-recurring): -8,000,000 * *Recurring EBITDA = 10,094,000,000* * **Joint-Venture / Equity Adjustments:** * Less: Share of profit/loss of associates and joint ventures (already included in operating profit): -22,000,000 * Plus: Dividends received from investments accounted for using equity method: +92,000,000 **Adjusted EBITDA** = 10,094,000,000 - 22,000,000 + 92,000,000 = **10,164,000,000 EUR** **3. Calculate Adjusted Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio** * **Ratio:** 19,916,000,000 / 10,164,000,000 = 1.95946 1.96
