Revenue and income statement
In 2024, ALPHA SYSTEM achieves revenue of 13.3 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +15.8%. Vs 2023: +8%. After deducting consumption (692 k€), gross margin stands at 12.6 M€, i.e. a rate of 95%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 509 k€, representing 3.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+8%), EBITDA varies by -39%, reducing margin by 3.0 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 653 k€, i.e. 4.9% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
