Vs 2020, growth of +78% (136.0 M€ -> 242.0 M€). After deducting consumption (2.0 M€), gross margin stands at 240.0 M€, i.e. a rate of 99%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 100.0 M€, representing 41.3% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+78%), EBITDA varies by +64%, reducing margin by 3.5 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. This high EBITDA margin provides strong self-financing capacity and resilience to uncertainties.

Solvency and debt ratios
The debt ratio (= Financial debt / Equity x 100) stands at 108%. Debt level is high: negotiating margin with banks is reduced. Financial autonomy (= Equity / Total assets x 100) reaches 44%. This high autonomy means the company finances most of its assets through equity, a sign of strength. Debt repayment capacity (= Financial debt / Cash flow) indicates it would take 4.5 years of cash flow to repay all financial debt. This ratio remains within usual banking standards. Cash flow represents 332.6% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. This high level provides strong self-financing capacity.
