AZENCO GROUPE : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, AZENCO GROUPE achieves revenue of 33.1 M€. Over the period 2014-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +12.3%. Slight decline of -5% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (12.4 M€), gross margin stands at 20.7 M€, i.e. a rate of 63%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 3.2 M€, representing 9.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-5%), EBITDA varies by -24%, reducing margin by 2.4 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This level of operating margin is satisfactory for the sector. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 2.3 M€, i.e. 6.9% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 25%. 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 49%. 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 0.9 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 7.1% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 166.06. 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 5.4x. Operating income very largely covers interest expenses: high safety margin.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 21 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 29 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 8 days. Inventory turnover is 51 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Overall, WCR represents 48 days of revenue, i.e. 4.4 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2014-2024, WCR increased by +674%, requiring additional financing.
