In 2018, LA CROIX achieves revenue of 218 k€. Revenue is declining over the period 2016-2018 (CAGR: -11.6%). Vs 2017, growth of +26% (172 k€ -> 218 k€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 218 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 15 k€, representing 6.9% of revenue.
