After deducting consumption (6.0 M€), gross margin stands at 2.8 M€, i.e. a rate of 32%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 176 k€, representing 2.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+1%), EBITDA varies by -62%, reducing margin by 3.4 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 38 k€, i.e. 0.4% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 19%. 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 64%. 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 2.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 1.2% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 264.92. 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 16.4x. 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: 7 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 15 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 8 days. Inventory turnover is 10 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 18 days of revenue, i.e. 435 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2025, WCR increased by +62%, requiring additional financing.
