Revenue and income statement
In 2024, SIGMA FRANCE achieves revenue of 4.6 M€. Over the period 2015-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +62.0%. Significant drop of -16% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (4.2 M€), gross margin stands at 364 k€, i.e. a rate of 8%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 73 k€, representing 1.6% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-16%), EBITDA varies by -72%, reducing margin by 3.2 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
