Solvency and debt ratios

Warning: the company shows negative equity (accumulated losses exceed its capital). This is a major financial weakness which makes debt and autonomy ratios non-meaningful. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 8.9 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Cash flow represents 69.6% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Compared with its sector, this ratio places the company among the best positioned (sector median: 20.4%).
