Revenue and income statement
In 2024, VOLSUD achieves revenue of 4.2 M€. Over the period 2020-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +5.9%. Vs 2023: +6%. After deducting consumption (506 k€), gross margin stands at 3.7 M€, i.e. a rate of 88%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 111 k€, representing 2.7% of revenue.
