Cash flow represents 25.9% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

Average customer payment term: 229 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 22 days.

Inventory turnover is 4 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 284 days of revenue, i.e. 297 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2018, WCR increased by +39%, requiring additional financing.
