In 2024, BLUEPAD achieves revenue of 1.0 M€. Over the period 2017-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +30.2%. Slight decline of -6% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 1.0 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 406 k€, representing 39.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-6%), EBITDA varies by -28%, reducing margin by 11.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 232 k€, i.e. 22.6% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
