Vs 2022, growth of +15% (6.6 M€ -> 7.6 M€). After deducting consumption (849 k€), gross margin stands at 6.8 M€, i.e. a rate of 89%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 1.5 M€, representing 20.3% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+15%), EBITDA varies by -11%, reducing margin by 5.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 1.0 M€, i.e. 13.6% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
