Revenue and income statement

In 2023, DIRE achieves revenue of 3.4 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 3 years (CAGR: +0.7%). Vs 2022: +1%. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 3.4 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 258 k€, representing 7.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+1%), EBITDA varies by -34%, reducing margin by 3.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
