SOGEPROM REALISATIONS COTE D'AZUR : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, SOGEPROM REALISATIONS COTE D'AZUR achieves revenue of 11.7 M€. Over the period 2020-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +188.3%. Significant drop of -69% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (3.1 M€), gross margin stands at 8.6 M€, i.e. a rate of 74%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 759 k€, representing 6.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-69%), EBITDA varies by -84%, reducing margin by 6.2 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 774 k€, i.e. 6.6% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 906%. Critical situation: debt significantly exceeds equity, severely limiting borrowing capacity and exposing the company to default risk. 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 11.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 6.2% 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 350.13. 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 7.4x. 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: 62 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 253 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 191 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 165 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 367 days of revenue, i.e. 11.9 M€ to permanently finance.
