SOCIETE MENUISERIE AMEUBLEMENT : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, SOCIETE MENUISERIE AMEUBLEMENT achieves revenue of 2.3 M€. Over the period 2020-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +8.6%. Slight decline of -9% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (1.3 M€), gross margin stands at 983 k€, i.e. a rate of 44%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 157 k€, representing 7.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-9%), EBITDA varies by -63%, reducing margin by 10.2 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 98 k€, i.e. 4.4% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 10%. 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 62%. 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 6.7% 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 280.13. 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 1.1x. 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: 30 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 62 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 32 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 6 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 52 days of revenue, i.e. 325 k€ to permanently finance.
