Revenue and income statement

In 2024, BERRY CENTRE AUTO achieves revenue of 1.9 M€. Over the period 2018-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +21.2%. Vs 2023, growth of +11% (1.7 M€ -> 1.9 M€). After deducting consumption (1.0 M€), gross margin stands at 824 k€, i.e. a rate of 44%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 2 k€, representing 0.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+11%), EBITDA varies by -95%, reducing margin by 2.2 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 506 k€, i.e. 27.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
