In 2024, LIFE INVEST achieves revenue of 142 k€. Revenue is declining over the period 2021-2024 (CAGR: -11.5%). Vs 2023, growth of +89% (75 k€ -> 142 k€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 142 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 112 k€, representing 79.2% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+89%), EBITDA varies by +73%, reducing margin by 7.2 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
