This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 125 k€, representing 0.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+22%), EBITDA varies by -83%, reducing margin by 4.6 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
