After deducting consumption (72 k€), gross margin stands at 389 k€, i.e. a rate of 84%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 14 k€, representing 3.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+11%), EBITDA varies by -67%, reducing margin by 6.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Working capital requirement (WCR) and payment terms

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 74 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 82 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 8 days. Inventory turnover is 353 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 396 days of revenue, i.e. 507 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +25%, requiring additional financing.
