PHARIS : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, PHARIS achieves revenue of 295 k€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +3.8%). Vs 2023: +4%. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 295 k€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 204 k€, representing 69.2% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+4%), EBITDA varies by -5%, reducing margin by 6.7 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 31 k€, i.e. 10.4% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 13%. 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 41%. 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 2.6 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 13.6% 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 30.18. 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 32.4x. 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: 164 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 128 days. The gap of 36 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. WCR is negative (-1331 days): operations structurally generate cash. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-1207%), freeing up cash.
