EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 35 k€, representing 7.3% of revenue.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 18%. 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 60%. 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 1.7 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 7.2% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 308.56. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months. The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 5.9x. Operating income very largely covers interest expenses: high safety margin.

Overall, WCR represents 261 days of revenue, i.e. 345 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2017-2023, WCR increased by +33%, requiring additional financing.
