EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 181 k€, representing 6.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-3%), EBITDA varies by -26%, reducing margin by 2.1 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
