The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 57%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed.

Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 4.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 6.2% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 777.50. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months. The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 1.5x. Coverage is limited: any activity downturn would jeopardize interest payments.

Average customer payment term: 54 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 14 days. The gap of 40 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow.

Overall, WCR represents 264 days of revenue, i.e. 166.7 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2017-2025, WCR increased by +409%, requiring additional financing.
