Revenue and income statement

In 2025, PENBASE achieves revenue of 3.2 M€. Over the period 2017-2025, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +6.3%. Vs 2024: +1%. After deducting consumption (275 k€), gross margin stands at 2.9 M€, i.e. a rate of 91%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 509 k€, representing 16.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+1%), EBITDA varies by -31%, reducing margin by 7.6 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 147 k€, i.e. 4.6% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
