Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 5.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 5.5% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

Working capital requirement (WCR) and payment terms

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 61 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 75 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 14 days. Inventory turnover is 129 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 153 days of revenue, i.e. 172 k€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-42%), freeing up cash.
