In 2024, LOCAWAY achieves revenue of 8.8 M€. Over the period 2018-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +13.7%. Vs 2023, growth of +16% (7.6 M€ -> 8.8 M€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 8.8 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
