Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 232.3 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 4.2% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.
