Revenue and income statement

In 2024, ALKO achieves revenue of 1.7 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +0.3%). Vs 2023, growth of +27% (1.3 M€ -> 1.7 M€). After deducting consumption (555 k€), gross margin stands at 1.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 67%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 134 k€, representing 8.1% of revenue.

This level of operating margin is satisfactory for the sector. Net income is negative at -45 k€ (-2.7% of revenue), which will impact equity.
