Dans le monde des affaires d'aujourd'hui, la prise de décision se base de plus en plus sur des données quantifiables. L'une des mesures clés utilisées par de nombreuses entreprises pour suivre leur performance financière est le MRR ou revenu mensuel récurrent. Dans cet article, nous explorerons la définition du MRR, ses différents types et comment cela influence la croissance et la pérennité d'une entreprise.
Le MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue), ou Revenu Mensuel Récurrent en français, est une mesure financière qui permet de connaître les revenus générés par une entreprise chaque mois grâce à ses contrats d'abonnement. Ce mode de facturation est surtout présent dans les entreprises proposant des services d'abonnement comme les logiciels en tant que service (SaaS), les fournisseurs de télécommunications et autres services similaires.
Ce qui rend le MRR particulièrement intéressant pour ces entreprises est qu'il offre une vision claire et stable de la performance financière de l'entreprise en tenant compte des revenus récurrents prévisibles. En effet, contrairement aux revenus ponctuels provenant de ventes occasionnelles, les abonnements offrent un flux constant de revenus dont il est plus facile de prédire l'évolution.
Il existe plusieurs types de MRR, chacun représentant un aspect différent de la performance financière de l'entreprise. Voici les quatre principaux types :
Pour comprendre l'évolution globale des revenus mensuels récurrents d'une entreprise, il est nécessaire de prendre en compte un cinquième type de MRR : le MRR ajusté. Celui-ci tient compte de tous les types de MRR précédemment mentionnés pour donner une vision d'ensemble des performances financières de l'entreprise :
MRR ajusté = MRR de nouveaux clients + MRR d'expansion - MRR de contraction - MRR de perte
Ainsi, le MRR ajusté permet de mesurer la croissance réelle des revenus de l'entreprise en tenant compte à la fois des gains et des pertes.
Le MRR est particulièrement utile pour les entreprises ayant un modèle basé sur les abonnements, car il leur permet de mieux comprendre et prévoir leur performance financière. Voici quelques-uns des avantages qu'offre cette mesure :
Enfin, le MRR est aussi un indicateur important de la fidélisation client dans les entreprises ayant un modèle basé sur les abonnements. Un MRR en croissance indique généralement que les clients sont satisfaits des services proposés et fidèles à long terme, ce qui est crucial pour assurer la pérennité et la réussite d'une entreprise.
En somme, le MRR est une mesure essentielle pour toute entreprise dont le modèle économique repose sur les revenus récurrents générés par les abonnements. Non seulement il permet de mieux comprendre la performance financière de l'entreprise, mais il joue également un rôle clé dans la prise de décision stratégique, le développement et la fidélisation client.
