This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 21%. 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 74%. 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 1.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 11.0% 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 936.84. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 56 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 3 days. The gap of 53 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Overall, WCR represents 142 days of revenue, i.e. 115 k€ to permanently finance.
