Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 1.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 21.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 2.4x. Financial charges are adequately covered by operations.

Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 11 days. Inventory turnover is 4 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. WCR is negative (-63 days): operations structurally generate cash. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-41%), freeing up cash.
