Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 263%. 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 17%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 120.9 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 0.3% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

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: 62 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 96 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 34 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 146 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 223 days of revenue, i.e. 2.6 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +159%, requiring additional financing.
