TRANSPORT PARIS INTERNATIONAL : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, TRANSPORT PARIS INTERNATIONAL achieves revenue of 5.3 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +9.6%. Significant drop of -27% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 5.3 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 1.3 M€, representing 24.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-27%), EBITDA varies by -48%, reducing margin by 9.7 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 1.0 M€, i.e. 18.8% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 0%. This very low level reflects a solid financial structure, offering significant room for future investments or acquisitions. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 47%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Cash flow represents 21.1% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 188.65. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months. The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 1.6x. Coverage is limited: any activity downturn would jeopardize interest payments.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 240 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 807 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 567 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Overall, WCR represents 168 days of revenue, i.e. 2.5 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +54%, requiring additional financing.
