In 2024, SOCIETE NOUVELLE DE DIFFUSION PARISIENNE achieves revenue of 4.3 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +28.3%. Slight decline of -9% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (299 k€), gross margin stands at 4.0 M€, i.e. a rate of 93%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 1.3 M€, representing 30.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-9%), EBITDA varies by -15%, reducing margin by 2.1 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 393 k€, i.e. 9.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at -1308%. 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 -7%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 7.4 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 23.9% 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 149.12. 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 11.6x. 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: 43 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 57 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 14 days. Inventory turnover is 1 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 26 days of revenue, i.e. 312 k€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-68%), freeing up cash.
