Revenue and income statement

In 2024, SOCIETE SEFOR achieves revenue of 2.9 M€. Revenue is growing positively over 8 years (CAGR: +3.6%). Slight decline of -4% vs 2023. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 2.9 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 1.5 M€, representing 51.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-4%), EBITDA varies by -17%, reducing margin by 8.3 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 2.0 M€, i.e. 67.4% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
