Solvency and debt ratios

Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 24%. The balance between equity and debt is satisfactory. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 2.1 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 18.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.
