Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 155%. 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 37%. The balance between equity and debt is satisfactory. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 5.0 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 45.3% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

Average customer payment term: 172 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 8 days.
