EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 219 k€, representing 6.8% of revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 7%. 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 57%. 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 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 326.96. 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 2.5x. Financial charges are adequately covered by operations.

Average customer payment term: 75 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 63 days. The company must finance 12 days of gap between collections and payments. Inventory turnover is 33 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 71 days of revenue, i.e. 633 k€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-49%), freeing up cash.
