EBITDA analysis

More revenue, less profit?

Revenue is growing, but EBITDA isn't. The problem is buried in price lists, discounts, logistics costs and inefficiencies that no report shows. Kestevo surfaces them.

  • Identifies the EBITDA gap unexplained by revenue growth
  • Automatic margin decomposition by customer, product, channel
  • Works even with a non-standardized chart of accounts

We're opening the private pilot to a limited number of companies. When we open the next slot, we'll reach out with an initial assessment of your situation.

The EBITDA analysis you needed

Revenue grows. Profit escapes.

Reports say revenue is rising. Kestevo tells you why EBITDA isn't rising with it: wrong mix, hidden costs, discounts eating the growth.

Revenue lives in your ERP. Real margin lives in the gaps between everything else.
Example 01
  • ERPQ2 revenue: +12% YoY
  • ERPQ2 EBITDA: -2 points vs Q1
  • MESLine A (18% margin): -4% volume
  • SDILine C (9% margin): +35% invoiced
  • CRMSales force incentivized on volume, not margin
Alert | CFO

You're selling more, but the wrong things. Your incentive plan rewards the Line C that erodes your margin.

Suggested action

Realign incentives on absolute contribution within 30 days: +1.2 pts EBITDA estimated in 6 months.

Example 02
  • ERPLogistics costs: +18% this quarter
  • ExcelCarrier rate card: last negotiated 24 months ago
  • SDICarrier invoices: +6% (volume +4%)
  • EmailLogistics team: 'increases announced in September'
Alert | COO

The carrier raised prices and nobody renegotiated. You're paying 18% more without realising it.

Suggested action

Run a tender across 3 alternative carriers: roughly €85k annual savings.

How Kestevo works

Kestevo breaks the EBITDA gap into mix, price, discount and cost using your ERP, e-invoices and production data, so you see which lever moved, not just that profit fell.
