English translation:in order to maintain its liquidity
Explanation:
La société XXX a ainsi été contrainte de solliciter le soutien financier du groupe au cours de l'exercice 2016, afin de faire face à ses échéances d'exploitation
=
in order to maintain its liquidity .... the company was forced to ask for financial help from the Group


here:

faire face à ses échéances d'exploitation = keep paying in time its debts/obligations related to the normal running of the business.

simpler way of saying the same: "stay liquid" / "maintain its liquidity" & similar


Differences Between Liquidity vs Solvency

Before making any investment, it’s important to know two factors upfront – whether this investment will maintain the liquidity of the company and whether the investment the company is making would keep the solvency of the company intact.

Many investors overwhelm themselves with the meaning of liquidity and solvency; as a result, they use these terms interchangeably. However, these two are entirely different from each other.

Liquidity can be defined as a firm’s ability to meet the current liabilities of the current assets it has. Liquidity is a short-term concept and also one of the most important ones because without liquidity the firm won’t be able to pay off its immediate liabilities. We use ratios like current ratio, quick ratio, and cash ratio to determine the liquidity of the company.

Solvency, on the other hand, can be defined as the ability of the company to run its operations in the long run. That means solvency is a long-term concept.
And investments can affect both of these, but they are much different than each other.

You could also use the long-winded:

"in order to be able to keep paying in time its current obligations related to normal operations ..."

but I don't see the point when there is name for it: "liquidity".
