In 2021, SEBASTIEN ALFARO achieves revenue of 402 k€. Over the period 2017-2021, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +8.2%. Vs 2018, growth of +53% (264 k€ -> 402 k€). After deducting consumption (164 k€), gross margin stands at 238 k€, i.e. a rate of 59%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 26 k€, representing 6.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+53%), EBITDA varies by -4%, reducing margin by 3.8 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 5 k€, i.e. 1.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 54%. 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 2.6 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 6.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 0.00. Alert: short-term debt exceeds current assets. Risk of payment difficulties without cash reinforcement. The interest coverage ratio (= EBIT / Interest expenses) is 1.6x. 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: 46 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 46 days of the operating cycle (retail model). WCR is negative (-35 days): operations structurally generate cash.
