Revenue and income statement
In 2024, TROPIC DISTRIB' achieves revenue of 1.1 M€. Over the period 2016-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +7.8%. Vs 2023: +7%. After deducting consumption (37 k€), gross margin stands at 1.0 M€, i.e. a rate of 96%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 252 k€, representing 23.9% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+7%), EBITDA varies by -18%, reducing margin by 7.3 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 159 k€, i.e. 15.1% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
