Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 11.8 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high.

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: 95 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 63 days. The gap of 32 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Inventory turnover is 152 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 286 days of revenue, i.e. 4.8 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2019-2024, WCR increased by +100%, requiring additional financing.
