SO MULHOUSE : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2025, SO MULHOUSE achieves revenue of 1.4 M€. Over the period 2016-2025, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +5.5%. Vs 2024: +8%. After deducting consumption (48 k€), gross margin stands at 1.4 M€, i.e. a rate of 97%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 40 k€, representing 2.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+8%), EBITDA varies by -74%, reducing margin by 8.9 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 58 k€, i.e. 4.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 4%. 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 65%. 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 2.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 1.0% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 434.33. 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 10.8x. 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: 141 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 33 days. The gap of 108 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Inventory turnover is 37 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 131 days of revenue, i.e. 520 k€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2025, WCR increased by +2569%, requiring additional financing.
