Cash flow represents 10.8% 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 1096.65. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months.
