Revenue and income statement
In 2024, HC ENVIRONNEMENT achieves revenue of 21.1 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +0.5%). Slight decline of -4% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (1.7 M€), gross margin stands at 19.4 M€, i.e. a rate of 92%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 156 k€, representing 0.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-4%), EBITDA varies by -96%, reducing margin by 15.4 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 1.4 M€, i.e. 6.6% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
