In 2023, CL EVOLUTION achieves revenue of 143 k€. Activity remains stable over the period (CAGR: -4.3%). Vs 2022, growth of +19% (120 k€ -> 143 k€). After deducting consumption (31 k€), gross margin stands at 112 k€, i.e. a rate of 79%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 11 k€, representing 7.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+19%), EBITDA varies by -49%, reducing margin by 10.6 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
