KWS MOMONT : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, KWS MOMONT achieves revenue of 27.5 M€. Over the period 2015-2025, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +32.8%. Slight decline of -6% vs 2024. After deducting consumption (11.3 M€), gross margin stands at 16.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 59%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 3.9 M€, representing 14.3% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-6%), EBITDA varies by -18%, reducing margin by 2.1 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 1.9 M€, i.e. 6.8% 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 43%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Cash flow represents 10.3% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 103.47. 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 5.5x. Operating income very largely covers interest expenses: high safety margin.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 65 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 121 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 56 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 100 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 92 days of revenue, i.e. 7.0 M€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-45%), freeing up cash.
