BATTENTIER & MANFIL II : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, BATTENTIER & MANFIL II achieves revenue of 5.9 M€. Over the period 2016-2025, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +6.8%. Slight decline of -8% vs 2024. After deducting consumption (2.8 M€), gross margin stands at 3.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 53%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 502 k€, representing 8.6% of revenue. This level of operating margin is satisfactory for the sector. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 369 k€, i.e. 6.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 17%. 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 63%. 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 6.7% 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 357.67. 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 10.4x. 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: 23 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 45 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 22 days. Inventory turnover is 140 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 161 days of revenue, i.e. 2.6 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2025, WCR increased by +143%, requiring additional financing.
