SIJOSE : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, SIJOSE achieves revenue of 1.9 M€. Over the period 2021-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +11.7%. Slight decline of -2% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (1.1 M€), gross margin stands at 805 k€, i.e. a rate of 42%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 149 k€, representing 7.8% of revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 51 k€, i.e. 2.6% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 94%. Debt level is high: negotiating margin with banks is reduced. 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 4.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 6.8% 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 385.76. 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 7.3x. 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: 0 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 15 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 15 days. Inventory turnover is 130 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 109 days of revenue, i.e. 578 k€ to permanently finance.
