Solvency and debt ratios

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 1096%. 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 7%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 3.0 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 12.7% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.
