Revenue and income statement

In 2023, LELIEN achieves revenue of 1.1 M€. Over the period 2018-2023, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +26.7%. Vs 2022, growth of +75% (614 k€ -> 1.1 M€). After deducting consumption (149 k€), gross margin stands at 922 k€, i.e. a rate of 86%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 18 k€, representing 1.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+75%), EBITDA varies by -48%, reducing margin by 4.0 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Net income is negative at -4 k€ (-0.4% of revenue), which will impact equity.
