In 2024, ROMANCE achieves revenue of 25.5 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +17.4%. Vs 2023, growth of +24% (20.6 M€ -> 25.5 M€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 25.5 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%.

Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+24%), EBITDA varies by -63%, reducing margin by 13.2 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 1.1 M€, i.e. 4.3% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
