Vs 2023, growth of +15% (2.0 M€ -> 2.3 M€). After deducting consumption (1.9 M€), gross margin stands at 397 k€, i.e. a rate of 18%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 115 k€, representing 5.1% of revenue. Positive scissor effect: EBITDA margin improves by +3.9 pts, sign of improved operational efficiency. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 49 k€, i.e. 2.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 48%. Debt remains under control: the company retains capacity to raise new debt if needed. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 43%. 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 2.3 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 4.1% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 262.92. 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 9.0x. 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: 34 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 55 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 21 days. Inventory turnover is 140 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 154 days of revenue, i.e. 968 k€ to permanently finance.
