CONSTRUCTIONS METALLIQUES LETELLIER : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, CONSTRUCTIONS METALLIQUES LETELLIER achieves revenue of 2.6 M€. Over the period 2020-2025, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +12.9%. Vs 2024: +9%. After deducting consumption (932 k€), gross margin stands at 1.7 M€, i.e. a rate of 64%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 170 k€, representing 6.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+9%), EBITDA varies by -39%, 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 84 k€, i.e. 3.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 30%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 41%. 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 1.9 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 5.1% 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 324.00. 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 1.6x. Coverage is limited: any activity downturn would jeopardize interest payments.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 39 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 71 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 32 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 3 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 100 days of revenue, i.e. 721 k€ to permanently finance.
