The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 16%. 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 69%. 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 1.1 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 10.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 365.76. 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 1.7x. Coverage is limited: any activity downturn would jeopardize interest payments.

Average customer payment term: 37 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 94 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 57 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 92 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 126 days of revenue, i.e. 595 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2015-2024, WCR increased by +43%, requiring additional financing.
