In 2021, LM PROCESS achieves revenue of 410 k€. Revenue is declining over the period 2018-2021 (CAGR: -6.1%). Vs 2020, growth of +41% (291 k€ -> 410 k€). After deducting consumption (183 k€), gross margin stands at 227 k€, i.e. a rate of 55%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 14 k€, representing 3.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+41%), EBITDA varies by -36%, reducing margin by 4.2 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 3 k€, i.e. 0.8% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
