Revenue and income statement
In 2024, PRISMA MEDIA achieves revenue of 329.6 M€. Activity remains stable over the period (CAGR: -1.9%). Slight decline of -1% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (20.3 M€), gross margin stands at 309.4 M€, i.e. a rate of 94%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 9.3 M€, representing 2.8% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-1%), EBITDA varies by -59%, reducing margin by 4.0 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 5.8 M€, i.e. 1.8% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
