E-SECURE.INFO : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, E-SECURE.INFO achieves revenue of 1.3 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +9.5%. Vs 2023: +2%. After deducting consumption (629 k€), gross margin stands at 692 k€, i.e. a rate of 52%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 57 k€, representing 4.3% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+2%), EBITDA varies by -44%, reducing margin by 3.6 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 33 k€, i.e. 2.5% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 6%. 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 67%. 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 3.7% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 288.53. 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 1.0x. 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: 4 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 26 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 22 days. Inventory turnover is 25 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 20 days of revenue, i.e. 74 k€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-48%), freeing up cash.
