GARAGE RIMEY : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, GARAGE RIMEY achieves revenue of 3.7 M€. Over the period 2017-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +6.2%. Slight decline of -3% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (1.8 M€), gross margin stands at 1.9 M€, i.e. a rate of 52%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 222 k€, representing 6.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-3%), EBITDA varies by -48%, reducing margin by 5.1 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 342 k€, i.e. 9.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 10%. 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 74%. 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 1.1 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 3.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 416.74. 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 1.7x. Coverage is limited: any activity downturn would jeopardize interest payments.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 17 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 25 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 8 days. Inventory turnover is 23 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 36 days of revenue, i.e. 372 k€ to permanently finance.
