UNICUM TRANSMISSION DE PUISSANCE : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, UNICUM TRANSMISSION DE PUISSANCE achieves revenue of 11.1 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +5.8%. Slight decline of -5% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (5.2 M€), gross margin stands at 5.8 M€, i.e. a rate of 53%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 2.5 M€, representing 22.3% of 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 1.6 M€, i.e. 14.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 13%. 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 64%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 0.3 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 17.7% 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 375.87. 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 0.9x. Danger: operating income does not cover interest charges, unsustainable situation.

Working capital requirement (WCR) measures the cash timing gap between customer collections and supplier/inventory payments. Average customer payment term: 23 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 26 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 3 days. Inventory turnover is 103 days (= Average inventory / Cost of goods x 360). This high level ties up cash and potentially creates obsolescence risk. Overall, WCR represents 127 days of revenue, i.e. 3.9 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +97%, requiring additional financing.
