EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 38 k€, representing 3.4% of revenue.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 54%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 45%. 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 3.7 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 6.5% 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 179.97. 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 9.9x. Operating income very largely covers interest expenses: high safety margin.

Average customer payment term: 17 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 99 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 82 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 36 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360).
