In 2024, AUTO FIRST achieves revenue of 1.2 M€. Revenue is declining over the period 2021-2024 (CAGR: -21.3%). Significant drop of -61% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (965 k€), gross margin stands at 192 k€, i.e. a rate of 17%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 6 k€, representing 0.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-61%), EBITDA varies by -96%, reducing margin by 4.0 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 11 k€, i.e. 1.0% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
