EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 7.1 M€, representing 76.5% of revenue.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 673%. Critical situation: debt significantly exceeds equity, severely limiting borrowing capacity and exposing the company to default risk.

Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 16.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 37.0% 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 540.01. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months. The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 42.8x. Operating income very largely covers interest expenses: high safety margin.
