In 2022, APB achieves revenue of 2.3 M€. Over the period 2017-2022, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +70.7%. Vs 2021, growth of +56% (1.5 M€ -> 2.3 M€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 2.3 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 157 k€, representing 6.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+56%), EBITDA varies by +0%, reducing margin by 3.7 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
