EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches -29 k€, representing -5.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-6%), EBITDA varies by -304%, reducing margin by 8.4 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 174%. 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 8%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 1.5 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 8.7% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.
