Revenue and income statement
In 2024, K-WAY FRANCE achieves revenue of 55.4 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +40.2%. Vs 2023, growth of +11% (49.8 M€ -> 55.4 M€). After deducting consumption (19.0 M€), gross margin stands at 36.5 M€, i.e. a rate of 66%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 15.4 M€, representing 27.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+11%), EBITDA varies by -1%, reducing margin by 3.5 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 11.0 M€, i.e. 19.8% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Working capital requirement (WCR) and payment terms
Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 32 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 80 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 48 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 132 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 220 days of revenue, i.e. 33.9 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +9704%, requiring additional financing.
