Revenue and income statement
In 2024, ERMA CONCEPT achieves revenue of 8.0 M€. Over the period 2017-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +31.0%. Vs 2023, growth of +26% (6.3 M€ -> 8.0 M€). After deducting consumption (4.1 M€), gross margin stands at 3.9 M€, i.e. a rate of 49%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches -115 k€, representing -1.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+26%), EBITDA varies by -119%, reducing margin by 11.0 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. Negative EBITDA means operations do not cover current expenses: concerning situation. Net income is negative at -169 k€ (-2.1% of revenue), which will impact equity.

Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 171%. Critical situation: debt significantly exceeds equity, severely limiting borrowing capacity and exposing the company to default risk. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 18%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 202.0 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 0.1% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

Working capital requirement (WCR) and payment terms
Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 24 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 129 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 105 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 147 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 196 days of revenue, i.e. 4.4 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2017-2024, WCR increased by +1201%, requiring additional financing.
