Revenue and income statement
In 2024, CASTOR & POLLUX achieves revenue of 7.7 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +11.1%. Vs 2023: +2%. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 7.7 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 1.1 M€, representing 13.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+2%), EBITDA varies by -23%, reducing margin by 4.4 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
