Vs 2017, growth of +133% (7.6 M€ -> 17.8 M€). After deducting consumption (220 €), gross margin stands at 17.8 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 4.2 M€, representing 23.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+133%), EBITDA varies by +69%, reducing margin by 9.0 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 2.8 M€, i.e. 15.7% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
