Revenue and income statement
In 2021, LES ALCHIMISTES achieves revenue of 686 k€. Revenue is declining over the period 2016-2021 (CAGR: -8.2%). Significant drop of -31% vs 2020. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 686 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 137 k€, representing 20.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-31%), EBITDA varies by -38%, reducing margin by 2.4 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
