Find below the complete financial statements, solvency ratios, working capital requirements and sector comparison.
In 2023, SPER achieves revenue of 143 k€. Revenue is growing positively over 7 years (CAGR: +0.4%). Significant drop of -17% vs 2022. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 143 k€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 73 k€, representing 51.3% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-17%), EBITDA varies by -42%, reducing margin by 22.5 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 129 k€, i.e. 90.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at -1087%. 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 -10%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 19.8 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 61.7% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.
