In 2024, BLUE GHOST achieves revenue of 583 k€. Over the period 2017-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +10.3%. Vs 2023: +7%. After deducting consumption (233 k€), gross margin stands at 350 k€, i.e. a rate of 60%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 16 k€, representing 2.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+7%), EBITDA varies by -58%, reducing margin by 4.2 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 3 k€, i.e. 0.4% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Working capital requirement (WCR) and payment terms
Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 18 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 2 days. The company must finance 16 days of gap between collections and payments. Inventory turnover is 135 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 93 days of revenue, i.e. 151 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2017-2024, WCR increased by +956%, requiring additional financing.
