In 2024, PATHE FILMS achieves revenue of 113.0 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +10.2%. Significant drop of -25% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (517 k€), gross margin stands at 112.5 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 84.5 M€, representing 74.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-25%), EBITDA varies by -28%, reducing margin by 2.8 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties.

Inventory turnover is 4 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. WCR is negative (-3 days): operations structurally generate cash.
