In 2024, CRITEL achieves revenue of 19.5 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +1.2%). Vs 2023: +6%. After deducting consumption (1.9 M€), gross margin stands at 17.6 M€, i.e. a rate of 90%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 759 k€, representing 3.9% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+6%), EBITDA varies by -42%, reducing margin by 3.2 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
