MURET CAMPING-CARS : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, MURET CAMPING-CARS achieves revenue of 34.3 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +4.6%). Slight decline of -7% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (28.5 M€), gross margin stands at 5.8 M€, i.e. a rate of 17%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 732 k€, representing 2.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-7%), EBITDA varies by -59%, reducing margin by 2.7 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 186 k€, i.e. 0.5% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 111%. Debt level is high: negotiating margin with banks is reduced. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 32%. The balance between equity and debt is satisfactory. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 20.5 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 0.9% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 297.37. 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 41.3x. 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: 10 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 44 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 34 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 119 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 166 days of revenue, i.e. 15.8 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +185%, requiring additional financing.
