In 2021, SOLUVAN achieves revenue of 31.8 M€. Over the period 2016-2021, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +23.0%. Vs 2020: +6%. After deducting consumption (6.8 M€), gross margin stands at 25.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 79%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 2.1 M€, representing 6.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+6%), EBITDA varies by -54%, reducing margin by 8.7 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Working capital requirement (WCR) and payment terms
Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 140 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 44 days. The gap of 96 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Inventory turnover is 9 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). Fast turnover, sign of good inventory management. Overall, WCR represents 187 days of revenue, i.e. 16.6 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2021, WCR increased by +465%, requiring additional financing.
