Revenue and income statement
In 2024, ACO SECURITE achieves revenue of 16.9 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +7.0%. Vs 2023: +2%. After deducting consumption (-1 k€), gross margin stands at 16.9 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 238 k€, representing 1.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+2%), EBITDA varies by -73%, reducing margin by 4.0 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 494 k€, i.e. 2.9% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Solvency and debt ratios

Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 9%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 13.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 2.1% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.
