After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 1.9 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 877 k€, representing 47.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+7%), EBITDA varies by -1%, reducing margin by 4.1 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 619 k€, i.e. 33.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 0%. 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 93%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Cash flow represents 40.7% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 2775.72. 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 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: 76 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 27 days. The gap of 49 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. WCR is negative (-261 days): operations structurally generate cash. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +75%, requiring additional financing.
