Acciona SA operates in the infrastructure and renewable energy sectors, which are characterized by relatively stable and predictable cash flows, fitting the "infrastructure-like, utility" profile that is strongly suitable for hybrid bonds. The company's financial metrics show an improving but still moderately leveraged profile; total equity increased to €6.3 billion in 2022, but total debt (noncurrent and current loans) stands at approximately €3.1 billion, with additional lease liabilities and other financial obligations. Using reported EBITDA of roughly €2.1 billion (Operating Profit of €1.334 billion + D&A of €762 million), the Net Debt/EBITDA ratio is approximately 1.2x. Adding back minority interests and other non-current financial liabilities would push adjusted leverage higher, making hybrid issuance a viable tool to materially improve leverage metrics and create rating headroom in the BBB area. Furthermore, the company has significant capital expenditure needs, evidenced by a massive increase in Property, Plant, and Equipment (from €8.06 billion to €9.48 billion) and investing cash outflows of -€1.94 billion in 2022. A hybrid bond would provide a strong rationale for funding this capex while preserving leverage ratios. The rising interest rate environment in 2022 also makes refinancing existing debt more expensive, and equity-like hybrid capital could offer a more efficient cost of capital compared to straight debt. However, the fact that Acciona SA has never issued hybrid bonds before (and did not issue any in 2021 or 2022) is a strong negative signal per the guidelines, indicating that management has not historically viewed it as a core recurring funding instrument or necessary for rating headroom, limiting the suitability from "Strongly" to "Marginally". The hybrid issuance would be opportunistic—mainly for capex funding, avoiding equity issuance, and securing temporary credit support rather than being a staple of their capital structure.
