In 2022, PLIEXPRESS achieves revenue of 3.0 M€. Over the period 2015-2022, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +6.3%. Vs 2021, growth of +11% (2.7 M€ -> 3.0 M€). After deducting consumption (1.9 M€), gross margin stands at 1.1 M€, i.e. a rate of 38%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 19 k€, representing 0.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+11%), EBITDA varies by -74%, reducing margin by 2.0 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
