MIROITERIE DU TERNOIS : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2023, MIROITERIE DU TERNOIS achieves revenue of 3.1 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 8 years (CAGR: +2.7%). Vs 2022: +6%. After deducting consumption (1.6 M€), gross margin stands at 1.5 M€, i.e. a rate of 48%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 219 k€, representing 7.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+6%), EBITDA varies by -19%, reducing margin by 2.2 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 122 k€, i.e. 3.9% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 20%. 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 44%. 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 1.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 5.6% 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 191.08. 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 1.8x. Coverage is limited: any activity downturn would jeopardize interest payments.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 105 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 54 days. The gap of 51 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 98 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 120 days of revenue, i.e. 1.0 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2023, WCR increased by +55%, requiring additional financing.
