In 2024, ALPHA-3I achieves revenue of 6.7 M€. Over the period 2017-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +8.2%. Vs 2022, growth of +12% (5.9 M€ -> 6.7 M€). After deducting consumption (939 k€), gross margin stands at 5.7 M€, i.e. a rate of 86%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 29 k€, representing 0.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+12%), EBITDA varies by -96%, reducing margin by 11.9 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 101 k€, i.e. 1.5% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
