Revenue and income statement
In 2024, LEXISNEXIS SA achieves revenue of 160.2 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +2.1%). Vs 2023: +5%. After deducting consumption (551 k€), gross margin stands at 159.7 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 67.6 M€, representing 42.2% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+5%), EBITDA varies by -3%, reducing margin by 3.4 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 21.6 M€, i.e. 13.5% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
