Revenue and income statement
In 2024, M6 DIFFUSION achieves revenue of 438 k€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +1.3%). Vs 2023: +4%. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 438 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 168 k€, representing 38.3% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+4%), EBITDA varies by -55%, reducing margin by 49.5 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 122 k€, i.e. 27.8% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
