SARL CRETEIL MESLY : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, SARL CRETEIL MESLY achieves revenue of 1.5 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +4.0%). Slight decline of -9% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (67 k€), gross margin stands at 1.4 M€, i.e. a rate of 96%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 481 k€, representing 32.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-9%), EBITDA varies by -22%, reducing margin by 5.2 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 195 k€, i.e. 13.0% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 5%. This very low level reflects a solid financial structure, offering significant room for future investments or acquisitions. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 83%. 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 0.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 19.1% 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 310.34. 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 1.4x. 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: 4 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 86 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 82 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 5 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. WCR is negative (-5 days): operations structurally generate cash. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-139%), freeing up cash.
