Vs 2024, growth of +11% (2.9 M€ -> 3.2 M€). After deducting consumption (2.3 M€), gross margin stands at 914 k€, i.e. a rate of 29%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 414 k€, representing 13.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+11%), EBITDA varies by -4%, reducing margin by 2.0 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 255 k€, i.e. 8.0% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 170%. Critical situation: debt significantly exceeds equity, severely limiting borrowing capacity and exposing the company to default risk. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 32%. The balance between equity and debt is satisfactory. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 4.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 8.7% 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 137.35. 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 13.3x. 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: 1 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 41 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 40 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 28 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 27 days of revenue, i.e. 240 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2025, WCR increased by +168%, requiring additional financing.
