Revenue and income statement

In 2024, PFS achieves revenue of 7.0 M€. Over the period 2017-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +5.9%. Vs 2023, growth of +66% (4.2 M€ -> 7.0 M€). After deducting consumption (1.9 M€), gross margin stands at 5.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 72%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 215 k€, representing 3.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+66%), EBITDA varies by -42%, reducing margin by 5.6 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 91 k€, i.e. 1.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
