EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 106 k€, representing 1.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-15%), EBITDA varies by -90%, reducing margin by 14.0 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
