MALVAC : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, MALVAC achieves revenue of 2.9 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +1.5%). Slight decline of -4% vs 2024. After deducting consumption (725 k€), gross margin stands at 2.2 M€, i.e. a rate of 75%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 306 k€, representing 10.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-4%), EBITDA varies by -32%, reducing margin by 4.4 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 65 k€, i.e. 2.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 463%. Critical situation: debt significantly exceeds equity, severely limiting borrowing capacity and exposing the company to default risk. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 12%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 2.8 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 6.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 192.93. 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 6.5x. 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: 1 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 28 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 27 days. Inventory turnover is 3 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 3 days of revenue, i.e. 28 k€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-61%), freeing up cash.
