SEDINET : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, SEDINET achieves revenue of 3.1 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +5.8%. Slight decline of -4% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (1.9 M€), gross margin stands at 1.2 M€, i.e. a rate of 38%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 149 k€, representing 4.9% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-4%), EBITDA varies by -32%, reducing margin by 2.0 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 59 k€, i.e. 1.9% 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 52%. 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 3.9 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 3.5% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 241.94. 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 6.0x. 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: 1 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 39 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 38 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 113 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 115 days of revenue, i.e. 978 k€ to permanently finance.
