Revenue and income statement
In 2024, WAVE ENERGIES achieves revenue of 4.0 M€. Over the period 2017-2024, the company shows strong growth with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of +6.8%. Vs 2023, growth of +153% (1.6 M€ -> 4.0 M€). After deducting consumption (0 €), gross margin stands at 4.0 M€, i.e. a rate of 100%. This ratio measures the ability to generate value from commercial activity. EBITDA (= Gross margin - Personnel expenses - Taxes) reaches 216 k€, representing 5.4% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+153%), EBITDA varies by +21%, reducing margin by 5.9 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue. The operating margin remains fragile, requiring cost vigilance. Ultimately, net income (= EBIT +/- financial result +/- exceptional - corporate tax) amounts to 189 k€, i.e. 4.7% of revenue. This profit can be retained or distributed to shareholders.
