Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 12.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 6.9% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

Working capital requirement (WCR) and payment terms

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 6 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 84 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 78 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 118 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 185 days of revenue, i.e. 40.0 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2018, WCR increased by +31%, requiring additional financing.
