Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 13%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 13.1 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 1.3% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.
