In 2025, CARROSSERIE FAYOLLE achieves revenue of 1.8 M€. Over the period 2017-2025, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +5.2%. Significant drop of -15% vs 2024. After deducting consumption (498 k€), gross margin stands at 1.3 M€, i.e. a rate of 73%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 82 k€, representing 4.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-15%), EBITDA varies by -60%, reducing margin by 5.2 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 1 k€, i.e. 0.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 63%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 47%. 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 4.9 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 3.9% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 180.05. 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 12.7x. 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: 46 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 38 days. The company must finance 8 days of gap between collections and payments. Inventory turnover is 4 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 43 days of revenue, i.e. 219 k€ to permanently finance.
