Revenue and income statement
In 2025, GESS CARAVANES achieves revenue of 3.9 M€. Over the period 2017-2025, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +14.1%. Vs 2024, growth of +38% (2.9 M€ -> 3.9 M€). After deducting consumption (3.4 M€), gross margin stands at 538 k€, i.e. a rate of 14%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 217 k€, representing 5.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+38%), EBITDA varies by -19%, reducing margin by 4.0 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 157 k€, i.e. 4.0% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
