Revenue and income statement
In 2024, DIRECT CONSULT achieves revenue of 722 k€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +14.1%. Vs 2023, growth of +48% (487 k€ -> 722 k€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 722 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 290 k€, representing 40.2% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+48%), EBITDA varies by +19%, reducing margin by 10.0 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 224 k€, i.e. 31.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
