Cronos Public ServicesSector median

EBITDA margin 10,8%, sector median 22,6%. Value-added coverage 1,12 (median 1,23). Value-added coverage sits in the sector-wide grey zone (0.95-1.15): context, not an alarm.

Revenue per headGross margin per FTE, against payroll cost

€ 111.452

Median (2025) € 77.398

Against a payroll cost of € 103.601 per FTE. The ratio between the two is the coverage rate above.

Above the median

Yield levelYield per hour worked, against payroll cost

€ 69

Median (2025) € 48

49.124 hours worked, 1.627 per FTE. Against that sits € 64 of payroll cost per hour worked, leaving € 5 for premises, equipment, depreciation and profit.

Above the median

No hourly rate follows from this. Gross margin is already net of services and sundry goods, which mixes rebilled production with the agency's own overhead, and the accounts do not say how many hours were billable. Deriving a rate from this systematically understates it.

Can the agency take a hit

Buffer, cash position and payment behaviour side by side, so you can see where they disagree.

Bufferequity in months of payroll

Buffer: 49,5 months (median 5,3 mo). Equity in the latest year: € 12,90 mln.

Adequate buffer

Cash positionAvailable cash, and whether it covers short-term debt

Cash € 147.988. Liquidity ratio 1,22: current assets cover short-term debt in full. Solvency 18,3%.

Amply covered

Payment behaviourTowards suppliers and towards the NBB

The annual accounts were filed after the statutory deadline. Over a third of the sector does this, usually because of the accountant's calendar. Rarely a story in itself.

What this factsheet does not know

How good the work is. Figures do not measure creativity, strategy or chemistry.
How the client portfolio is spread. Concentration is not in the accounts.
Freelancers and subcontractors are not in the FTE figures. An agency with 40 staff may in practice run with 70 people.
The figures cover financial year 2025, filed on 28/07/2026. At a fast-moving agency reality today may differ.
