After deducting consumption (-3 k€), gross margin stands at 56.9 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 82 k€, representing 0.1% of revenue. Warning negative scissor effect: despite revenue change (+9%), EBITDA varies by -97%, reducing margin by 5.2 pts. This reflects costs rising faster than revenue.
