In 2023, RESTAURANT DU MOULIN achieves revenue of 7.5 M€. Over the period 2017-2023, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +6.3%. Vs 2022, growth of +25% (6.0 M€ -> 7.5 M€). After deducting consumption (1.3 M€), gross margin stands at 6.3 M€, i.e. a rate of 83%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 2.2 M€, representing 28.9% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+25%), EBITDA varies by +10%, reducing margin by 3.9 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 1.4 M€, i.e. 18.7% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 49%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 45%. 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 0.6 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 21.8% 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 245.41. 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 1.2x. 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: 0 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 66 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 66 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 4 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 108 days of revenue, i.e. 2.3 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2017-2023, WCR increased by +29%, requiring additional financing.
