In 2024, THEOBALD CARS achieves revenue of 26.8 M€. Over the period 2021-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +70.9%. Significant drop of -27% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (23.8 M€), gross margin stands at 3.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 11%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 432 k€, representing 1.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-27%), EBITDA varies by -71%, reducing margin by 2.4 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: 32 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 141 days. Excellent situation: suppliers finance 109 days of the operating cycle (retail model). Inventory turnover is 181 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 240 days of revenue, i.e. 17.9 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2021-2024, WCR increased by +439%, requiring additional financing.
