Revenue and income statement
In 2024, BLACK CASTLE EXPLOITATION achieves revenue of 9.4 M€. Over the period 2020-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +40.7%. Vs 2023, growth of +31% (7.1 M€ -> 9.4 M€). After deducting consumption (1.3 M€), gross margin stands at 8.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 87%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 635 k€, representing 6.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+31%), EBITDA varies by -30%, reducing margin by 6.0 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 512 k€, i.e. 5.5% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
