Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 150%. 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 28%. The balance between equity and debt is satisfactory. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 2.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 19.5% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.
