In 2023, KLS DIFFUSION achieves revenue of 1.1 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 6 years (CAGR: +0.0%). Significant drop of -11% vs 2022. After deducting consumption (679 k€), gross margin stands at 383 k€, i.e. a rate of 36%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 23 k€, representing 2.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-11%), EBITDA varies by -73%, reducing margin by 4.8 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 146 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 97 days. The gap of 49 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 164 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 276 days of revenue, i.e. 813 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2018-2023, WCR increased by +23%, requiring additional financing.
