In 2024, SAFE achieves revenue of 31.5 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +2.6%). Slight decline of -4% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (-4 k€), gross margin stands at 31.5 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 325 k€, representing 1.0% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-4%), EBITDA varies by -75%, reducing margin by 2.9 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 283 k€, i.e. 0.9% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
