In 2024, SARL BLUE achieves revenue of 1.8 M€. Activity remains stable over the period (CAGR: -2.0%). Slight decline of -9% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 1.8 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 540 k€, representing 29.9% of revenue.

Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 101%. Debt level is high: negotiating margin with banks is reduced. 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 12.9 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 49.1% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.
