The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 22%. This very low level reflects a solid financial structure, offering significant room for future investments or acquisitions. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 65%. 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 1.9 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 7.9% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 0.6x. Danger: operating income does not cover interest charges, unsustainable situation.

Excellent situation: suppliers finance 72 days of the operating cycle (retail model). WCR is negative (-39 days): operations structurally generate cash.
