SB LOCATION : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, SB LOCATION achieves revenue of 516 k€. Revenue is declining over the period 2022-2024 (CAGR: -8.2%). Significant drop of -20% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 516 k€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 170 k€, representing 33.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-20%), EBITDA varies by -36%, reducing margin by 8.5 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 88 k€, i.e. 17.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 15%. 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 70%. 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 0.5 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 25.2% 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 421.72. 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 0.1x. Danger: operating income does not cover interest charges, unsustainable situation.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 48 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 78 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 30 days. Overall, WCR represents 37 days of revenue, i.e. 53 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2022-2024, WCR increased by +208%, requiring additional financing.
