Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 154%. 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 18%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 2.9 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 5.1% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.
