PCM TECHNOLOGIE : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, PCM TECHNOLOGIE achieves revenue of 3.1 M€. Over the period 2020-2025, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +25.0%. Significant drop of -19% vs 2024. After deducting consumption (1.9 M€), gross margin stands at 1.2 M€, i.e. a rate of 39%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 326 k€, representing 10.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-19%), EBITDA varies by -63%, reducing margin by 12.5 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This level of operating margin is satisfactory for the sector. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 268 k€, i.e. 8.5% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 7%. 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 52%. 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 0.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 8.9% 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 269.41. 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 1.3x. 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: 72 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 43 days. The company must finance 29 days of gap between collections and payments. Inventory turnover is 79 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Overall, WCR represents 155 days of revenue, i.e. 1.4 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2020-2025, WCR increased by +313%, requiring additional financing.
