Slight decline of -1% vs 2024. After deducting consumption (25.5 M€), gross margin stands at 33.7 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 21.0 M€, representing 35.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-1%), EBITDA varies by -12%, reducing margin by 4.2 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 2.6 M€, i.e. 4.5% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 0%. 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 40%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Cash flow represents 4.3% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 168.39. Concretely, the company has €2 of liquid assets for every €1 of short-term debt: no cash risk within 12 months.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 4 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 215 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 211 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 99 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 319 days of revenue, i.e. 52.4 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2025, WCR increased by +119%, requiring additional financing.
