In 2024, FOTOTAIC achieves revenue of 187 k€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +7.5%. Slight decline of -10% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 187 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 142 k€, representing 75.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-10%), EBITDA varies by -17%, reducing margin by 6.5 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 82 k€, i.e. 44.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Solvency and debt ratios
