Revenue and income statement
In 2024, FLEX-N-GATE FRANCE achieves revenue of 322.5 M€. Activity remains stable over the period (CAGR: -1.6%). Vs 2023, growth of +19% (271.7 M€ -> 322.5 M€). After deducting consumption (98.4 M€), gross margin stands at 224.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 69%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 8.4 M€, representing 2.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+19%), EBITDA varies by -42%, reducing margin by 2.7 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Net income is negative at -11.5 M€ (-3.6% of revenue), which will impact equity.

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: 55 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 82 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 27 days. Inventory turnover is 92 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 58 days of revenue, i.e. 51.5 M€ to permanently finance.
