ISOGAINE : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2019, ISOGAINE achieves revenue of 2.4 M€. Activity remains stable over the period (CAGR: -3.1%). Slight decline of -8% vs 2018. After deducting consumption (1.1 M€), gross margin stands at 1.4 M€, i.e. a rate of 57%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 66 k€, representing 2.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-8%), EBITDA varies by -54%, reducing margin by 2.7 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 30 k€, i.e. 1.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 13%. 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 76%. 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 2.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. 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 319.08. 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 1.3x. 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: 18 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 20 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 2 days. Inventory turnover is 31 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 53 days of revenue, i.e. 360 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2019, WCR increased by +46%, requiring additional financing.
