EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 1.0 M€, representing 25.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+4%), EBITDA varies by -9%, reducing margin by 3.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 22%. 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 78%. 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 2.8 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 232.8% 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 1716.26. 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 92.8x. 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: 125 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 88 days. The gap of 37 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Overall, WCR represents 6735 days of revenue, i.e. 75.3 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +241%, requiring additional financing.
