OPTO FRANCE : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, OPTO FRANCE achieves revenue of 1.4 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +47.2%. Vs 2023: +1%. After deducting consumption (419 k€), gross margin stands at 996 k€, i.e. a rate of 70%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 397 k€, representing 28.0% of revenue. Positive scissor effect: EBITDA margin improves by +17.0 pts, sign of improved operational efficiency. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 347 k€, i.e. 24.5% 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 62%. 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 0.7 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 27.8% 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 442.69. 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 1.5x. 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: 81 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 42 days. The gap of 39 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 149 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 214 days of revenue, i.e. 843 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +1127%, requiring additional financing.
