The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 2%. This very low level reflects a solid financial structure, offering significant room for future investments or acquisitions.

Cash flow represents 12.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 0.7x. Danger: operating income does not cover interest charges, unsustainable situation.
