Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 1560%. 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 2%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 2.5 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 10.3% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

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: 0 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 38 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 38 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 4 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. WCR is negative (-134 days): operations structurally generate cash. Over 2016-2022, WCR increased by +35%, requiring additional financing.
