In 2024, ECHO achieves revenue of 2.3 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +13.0%. Vs 2023, growth of +37% (1.7 M€ -> 2.3 M€). After deducting consumption (129 k€), gross margin stands at 2.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 94%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 115 k€, representing 5.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+37%), EBITDA varies by -23%, reducing margin by 3.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 49 k€, i.e. 2.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
