Vs 2023, growth of +105% (212 k€ -> 434 k€). After deducting consumption (180 k€), gross margin stands at 254 k€, i.e. a rate of 58%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 131 k€, representing 30.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+105%), EBITDA varies by +27%, reducing margin by 18.4 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
