ARRIGONI FRANCE : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, ARRIGONI FRANCE achieves revenue of 13.0 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +3.2%). Slight decline of -5% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (9.1 M€), gross margin stands at 3.9 M€, i.e. a rate of 30%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 662 k€, representing 5.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-5%), EBITDA varies by -32%, reducing margin by 2.0 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 476 k€, i.e. 3.7% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 8%. 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 72%. 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 1.0 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 4.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 432.53. 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 3.5x. Financial charges are adequately covered by operations.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 69 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 50 days. The company must finance 19 days of gap between collections and payments. 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 168 days of revenue, i.e. 6.1 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +54%, requiring additional financing.
