Revenue and income statement
In 2024, MSE L EPIVENT achieves revenue of 2.6 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +20.6%. Significant drop of -11% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 2.6 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 1.8 M€, representing 68.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-11%), EBITDA varies by -22%, reducing margin by 10.0 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 978 k€, i.e. 38.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
