ENTREPRISE GIRARDEAU : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, ENTREPRISE GIRARDEAU achieves revenue of 6.0 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 7 years (CAGR: +2.1%). Slight decline of -3% vs 2024. After deducting consumption (2.3 M€), gross margin stands at 3.8 M€, i.e. a rate of 63%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 512 k€, representing 8.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-3%), EBITDA varies by -22%, reducing margin by 2.0 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 351 k€, i.e. 5.8% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 18%. 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 43%. 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 0.5 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 7.1% 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 209.53. 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 0.7x. 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: 45 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 51 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 6 days. Inventory turnover is 12 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 36 days of revenue, i.e. 605 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2019-2025, WCR increased by +34%, requiring additional financing.
