After deducting consumption (20.4 M€), gross margin stands at 20.4 M€, i.e. a rate of 50%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 2.5 M€, representing 6.2% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-12%), EBITDA varies by -41%, reducing margin by 3.0 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
