Revenue and income statement

In 2024, STOP AUTO achieves revenue of 554 k€. Revenue is growing positively over 9 years (CAGR: +5.0%). Vs 2023, growth of +15% (482 k€ -> 554 k€). After deducting consumption (235 k€), gross margin stands at 318 k€, i.e. a rate of 58%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 7 k€, representing 1.3% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+15%), EBITDA varies by -60%, reducing margin by 2.5 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
