Revenue and income statement

In 2024, SODEXO achieves revenue of 242.0 M€. Over the period 2019-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +13.6%. 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. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 1.5 Bn€, i.e. 638.4% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
