Analyst’s Opinion

With a turnover of 4 045 000 € in 2017 and an experienced team, the company has a good track record combined with a two-digits operating margin.

Over the past few years, increase of turnover is driven by the signing of new contracts and the fidelization of current customers. Profitability, included management fees, is a range of 25%. The forecast is based on the 2017 and 2018 performances taking into account the signing of new contracts upon the arrival of a new shareholder in jully 2018.

The borrower has a correct repayment capacity with a forecast FCCR (Fixed Charge Cover Ratio *) at 1,09 and an excellent financial structure, with a forecast net debt / ebitda ratio of 1,14 and a net debt / shareholder equity of 39%.
