Revenue and income statement
In 2024, FORETUDE INGENIERIE achieves revenue of 1.6 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +5.3%. Significant drop of -15% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (4 k€), gross margin stands at 1.6 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 74 k€, representing 4.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-15%), EBITDA varies by -56%, reducing margin by 4.4 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
