TECHNIQUE SOLAIRE INVEST 19 : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, TECHNIQUE SOLAIRE INVEST 19 achieves revenue of 660 k€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +0.9%). Slight decline of -7% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 660 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 538 k€, representing 81.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-7%), EBITDA varies by -10%, reducing margin by 2.2 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 96 k€, i.e. 14.6% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 1441%. 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 6%. Low autonomy: the company heavily depends on external financing (banks, suppliers). Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 8.8 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. Beyond 7 years, banks generally consider credit risk as high. Cash flow represents 67.2% 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 1565.79. 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 12.1x. 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: 83 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 43 days. The gap of 40 days means the company finances its customers for over a month before being paid relative to supplier payments. This weighs on cash flow. Overall, WCR represents 103 days of revenue, i.e. 188 k€ to permanently finance. Notable WCR improvement over the period (-34%), freeing up cash.
