Solvency and debt ratios

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 2209%. Critical situation: debt significantly exceeds equity, severely limiting borrowing capacity and exposing the company to default risk. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 4%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 73.5 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 3.7% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.
