HOME TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, HOME TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT achieves revenue of 749 k€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +7.4%. Vs 2023: +2%. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 749 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 26 k€, representing 3.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+2%), EBITDA varies by -55%, reducing margin by 4.4 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 37 k€, i.e. 4.9% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 21%. 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 59%. 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 4.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 2.5% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 318.59. 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 124.7x. 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: 140 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 58 days. The gap of 82 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Inventory turnover is 13 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 215 days of revenue, i.e. 448 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +661%, requiring additional financing.
