After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 330 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 25 k€, representing 7.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-35%), EBITDA varies by -79%, reducing margin by 15.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
