Revenue and income statement
In 2023, TRANSPORT MERIDIEN achieves revenue of 528 k€. Over the period 2020-2023, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +18.2%. Vs 2022: +1%. After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 528 k€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 13 k€, representing 2.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+1%), EBITDA varies by -52%, reducing margin by 2.8 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.

This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
