The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 29%. This very low level reflects a solid financial structure, offering significant room for future investments or acquisitions. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 68%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 1.6 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 34.5% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 10.0x. Operating income very largely covers interest expenses: high safety margin.

Average customer payment term: 36 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 72 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 36 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 1 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 28 days of revenue, i.e. 137 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2014-2025, WCR increased by +129%, requiring additional financing.
