Slight decline of -5% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (1.0 M€), gross margin stands at 1.2 M€, i.e. a rate of 55%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 220 k€, representing 9.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-5%), EBITDA varies by -23%, reducing margin by 2.2 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 168 k€, i.e. 7.4% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 41%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 51%. 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 1.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 7.6% 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 233.68. 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 0.9x. Danger: operating income does not cover interest charges, unsustainable situation.

Average customer payment term: 24 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 25 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 1 days. Inventory turnover is 10 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 11 days of revenue, i.e. 68 k€ to permanently finance.
