In 2023, W achieves revenue of 1.8 M€. Over the period 2016-2023, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +7.1%. Slight decline of -3% vs 2022. After deducting consumption (174 k€), gross margin stands at 1.7 M€, i.e. a rate of 91%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 305 k€, representing 16.5% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (-3%), EBITDA varies by -27%, reducing margin by 5.3 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 160 k€, i.e. 8.7% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.

Cash flow represents 8.8% of revenue. Cash flow measures resources generated by operations, available for investment and debt repayment. Satisfactory level allowing partial financing of growth.
