exceeded 20%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although new customer acquisition may be reduced in the future, the sale of its products as complements to those already purchased by existing customers should help to maintain this good growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Similarly, EBITDA, EBIT and EBITDA\/Sales are growing at a very high rate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This indicates the company's ability to increase its sales without incurring excessive expenses or investments that could weigh it down.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, net profit did not show any weakening, but continued to grow in line with other items.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the same time, it manages to maintain an ROE of around 17%, well above that of its competitors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The balance sheet shows a commensurate growth in sales, with a significant increase in cash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The latter could be used to continue the company's expansion plans and strengthen its position as a leader in the sector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Debt levels are in line with the company's situation and most of the financing comes from positive funds, which is very positive and reduces risk.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
