FINANCIERE PEDRINI : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, FINANCIERE PEDRINI achieves revenue of 800 k€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +4.3%). Vs 2023, growth of +38% (580 k€ -> 800 k€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 800 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 38 k€, representing 4.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+38%), EBITDA varies by -21%, reducing margin by 3.6 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 163 k€, i.e. 20.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 17%. 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 84%. 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 7.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 20.3% 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 253.39. 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 162.6x. 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: 77 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 252 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 175 days of the operating cycle (retail model). WCR is negative (-44 days): operations structurally generate cash. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +60%, requiring additional financing.
