Revenue and income statement
In 2024, SARL COGEST INFO achieves revenue of 307 k€. Revenue is declining over the period 2016-2024 (CAGR: -5.9%). Slight decline of -8% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 307 k€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 132 k€, representing 43.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-8%), EBITDA varies by -31%, reducing margin by 14.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 84 k€, i.e. 27.2% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
