Revenue and income statement
In 2023, RIVIERE DIFFUSION achieves revenue of 4.6 M€. Over the period 2014-2023, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +11.1%. Vs 2021, growth of +40% (3.3 M€ -> 4.6 M€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 4.6 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%.
