After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 592 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 56 k€, representing 9.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-4%), EBITDA varies by -44%, reducing margin by 6.8 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This level of operating margin is satisfactory for the sector. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 40 k€, i.e. 6.7% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 5%. 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 68%. 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 0.8 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 8.1% 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 132.42. 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 1.4x. Coverage is limited: any activity downturn would jeopardize interest payments.

Average customer payment term: 0 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 9 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 9 days. WCR is negative (-161 days): operations structurally generate cash.
