BATIMENT SERVICES : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, BATIMENT SERVICES achieves revenue of 3.2 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 10 years (CAGR: +2.5%). Significant drop of -19% vs 2024. After deducting consumption (943 k€), gross margin stands at 2.3 M€, i.e. a rate of 71%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 168 k€, representing 5.2% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-19%), EBITDA varies by -79%, reducing margin by 14.8 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 183 k€, i.e. 5.6% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 4%. 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 57%. 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 0.5 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 3.7% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 161.82. 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 0.5x. Danger: operating income does not cover interest charges, unsustainable situation.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 47 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 92 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 45 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 1 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 47 days of revenue, i.e. 425 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2025, WCR increased by +223%, requiring additional financing.
