In 2021, CP PRODUCTION achieves revenue of 97 k€. Revenue is declining over the period 2017-2021 (CAGR: -19.5%). Vs 2020, growth of +54% (63 k€ -> 97 k€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 97 k€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 121 k€, representing 125.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+54%), EBITDA varies by -38%, reducing margin by 188.3 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
