Revenue and income statement
In 2024, PIGEON ENTREPRISES achieves revenue of 16.6 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 8 years (CAGR: +2.7%). Vs 2023: +4%. After deducting consumption (29 k€), gross margin stands at 16.6 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 8.0 M€, representing 48.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+4%), EBITDA varies by -1%, reducing margin by 2.6 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 10.6 M€, i.e. 64.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 112%. Debt level is high: negotiating margin with banks is reduced. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 46%. 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 40.1 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 22.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.
