AQUIFILM : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, AQUIFILM achieves revenue of 523 k€. Activity remains stable over the period (CAGR: -2.8%). Vs 2024: +1%. After deducting consumption (395 k€), gross margin stands at 128 k€, i.e. a rate of 24%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 23 k€, representing 4.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+1%), EBITDA varies by -48%, 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 15 k€, i.e. 2.8% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 1%. 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 85%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 0.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 3.9% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 696.42. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 62 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 23 days. The gap of 39 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Inventory turnover is 94 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 155 days of revenue, i.e. 225 k€ to permanently finance.
