After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 7.8 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 9.0 M€, representing 115.7% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+212%), EBITDA varies by +135%, reducing margin by 38.3 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
