The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 19%. This very low level reflects a solid financial structure, offering significant room for future investments or acquisitions. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 50%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 2.3 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 2.4% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

Average customer payment term: 5 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 56 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 51 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 149 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 125 days of revenue, i.e. 1.1 M€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-28%), freeing up cash.
