VIVERIS TECHNOLOGIES : revenue, balance sheet and financial ratios

In 2024, VIVERIS TECHNOLOGIES achieves revenue of 45.9 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +4.9%). Vs 2023: +3%. After deducting consumption (262 k€), gross margin stands at 45.6 M€, i.e. a rate of 99%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 1.0 M€, representing 2.3% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+3%), EBITDA varies by -50%, reducing margin by 2.4 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 795 k€, i.e. 1.7% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 1%. 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 53%. 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 0.2 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This short period demonstrates excellent debt sustainability. Cash flow represents 2.6% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment.

The liquidity ratio (= Current assets / Current liabilities) stands at 260.66. 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 16.7x. 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: 56 days (formula: Customer receivables / Revenue incl. VAT x 360). Supplier term: 64 days. Favorable situation: supplier credit is longer than customer credit by 8 days. Overall, WCR represents 69 days of revenue, i.e. 8.9 M€ to permanently finance. Over 2016-2024, WCR increased by +88%, requiring additional financing.
