Analyst’s Opinion

With a turnover of 20 354 000 € in 2018 and an experienced team, the company has a good track record combined with a two-digits operating margin.

The increase in turnover in 2018 is driven by the development of the portfolio. The forecast is based on 2018 performance.

The borrower has a solid repayment capacity with a forecast FCCR (Fixed Charge Cover Ratio *) at 1,59 and a strong financial structure, with a forecast net debt / ebitda ratio of 0,57 and a net debt / shareholder equity of 99%.

The analysis of the project leads to a credit rating of B and a 5,9% annual interest rate.

*The multiple of FCCR at 1,59 means that the company has a safety margin of 59% relative to its ability to repay its credit maturities.
