GREEN YELLOW MONTPELLIER CELLENEUVE : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, GREEN YELLOW MONTPELLIER CELLENEUVE achieves revenue of 1.2 M€. Over the period 2017-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +24.2%. Significant drop of -32% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 1.2 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 1.0 M€, representing 87.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-32%), EBITDA varies by -36%, reducing margin by 5.8 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 637 k€, i.e. 54.4% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 98%. Debt level is high: negotiating margin with banks is reduced. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 47%. 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 1.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 78.9% 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 77.52. 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 10.9x. 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: 11 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 120 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 109 days of the operating cycle (retail model). WCR is negative (-228 days): operations structurally generate cash.
