CABRIBONDY : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, CABRIBONDY achieves revenue of 5.2 M€. Activity remains stable over the period (CAGR: -1.5%). Slight decline of -7% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (3.1 M€), gross margin stands at 2.0 M€, i.e. a rate of 39%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 305 k€, representing 5.9% of revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 210 k€, i.e. 4.0% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 52%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 42%. 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 2.7 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 4.6% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 233.09. 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 7.4x. 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: 10 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 71 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 61 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 125 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 130 days of revenue, i.e. 1.9 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2022-2024, WCR increased by +21%, requiring additional financing.
