ECO ENERGY INVEST : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, ECO ENERGY INVEST achieves revenue of 133 k€. Activity remains stable over the period (CAGR: -1.5%). Significant drop of -13% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 133 k€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 90 k€, representing 67.9% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-13%), EBITDA varies by -18%, reducing margin by 4.6 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 77 k€, i.e. 57.9% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 67%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 59%. 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 3.3 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 96.5% 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 3262.53. 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 5.8x. 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: 91 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 110 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 19 days. Overall, WCR represents 101 days of revenue, i.e. 37 k€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-37%), freeing up cash.
