REX sur CA

French to English Bus/Financial Accounting Business plan for water extraction startup
I don't work in this field, it's part of a larger technical document.

Capacité d'autofinancement
RN sur CA
**REX sur CA**
EBE sur CA

After each of the three headings there are the forecast figures for the next 5 years, going from initially negative sums to positive sums.
I assume CA means turnover, but in the light of the initials in the term "Capacité d'Autofinancement" I need confirmation.

income from operations / revenue

There is officially, and purposely, no defined concept of "operating income" in the IFRS (and no defined concept of "ordinary" either). Companies that display a line for it can basically call it anything they want, so long as they explain what it is.

The REX notion is borrowed from traditional French accounting, which divides the overall "result" into three: operating, financial and exceptional.
