Cash flow represents 7.3% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

The gap of 53 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Inventory turnover is 1 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 49 days of revenue, i.e. 240 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +204%, requiring additional financing.
