HOLDING BOILLAUD : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, HOLDING BOILLAUD achieves revenue of 240 k€. Over the period 2016-2025, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +11.6%. Vs 2024, growth of +14% (210 k€ -> 240 k€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 240 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 18 k€, representing 7.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+14%), EBITDA varies by -60%, reducing margin by 13.6 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 12 k€, i.e. 5.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 8%. 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 3.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 5.2% 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 777.05. 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 0.3x. Danger: operating income does not cover interest charges, unsustainable situation.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 0 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 76 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 76 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Overall, WCR represents 90 days of revenue, i.e. 60 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2025, WCR increased by +166%, requiring additional financing.
