FIGRITA : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, FIGRITA achieves revenue of 2.0 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +5.8%. Slight decline of -3% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (1.2 M€), gross margin stands at 786 k€, i.e. a rate of 40%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 155 k€, representing 7.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-3%), EBITDA varies by -38%, reducing margin by 4.4 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 86 k€, i.e. 4.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 83%. Debt level is high: negotiating margin with banks is reduced. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 46%. 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 6.4% 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 389.36. 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 9.5x. 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: 2 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 32 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 30 days. Inventory turnover is 156 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 159 days of revenue, i.e. 879 k€ to permanently finance.
