METALLERIE WILLIAMEY : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, METALLERIE WILLIAMEY achieves revenue of 2.4 M€. Activity remains stable over the period (CAGR: -1.3%). Significant drop of -32% vs 2024. After deducting consumption (707 k€), gross margin stands at 1.7 M€, i.e. a rate of 71%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 323 k€, representing 13.3% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-32%), EBITDA varies by -50%, reducing margin by 4.9 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 198 k€, i.e. 8.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 35%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 66%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 2.7 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 10.0% 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 659.20. 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 5.9x. 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: 66 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 52 days. The company must finance 14 days of gap between collections and payments. Inventory turnover is 47 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Overall, WCR represents 128 days of revenue, i.e. 864 k€ to permanently finance.
