Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 244%. 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 54%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 2.8 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 2.9% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.
