CLAIRE VISION : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, CLAIRE VISION achieves revenue of 493 k€. Revenue is growing positively over 10 years (CAGR: +0.7%). Significant drop of -16% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (151 k€), gross margin stands at 341 k€, i.e. a rate of 69%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 63 k€, representing 12.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-16%), EBITDA varies by -36%, reducing margin by 4.0 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This level of operating margin is satisfactory for the sector. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 35 k€, i.e. 7.2% 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 72%. 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 0.3 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 10.4% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 172.09. 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 0.4x. 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: 21 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 71 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 50 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 26 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 39 days of revenue, i.e. 53 k€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-38%), freeing up cash.
