Revenue What customers paid the company over its fiscal year, before any cost, as filed in its annual report. The change is against the year before. Methodology $10.7M +1% on FY2024
$0 $20M FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2020 · $5.4M FY2021 · $6.8M FY2022 · $8.3M FY2023 · $9.7M FY2024 · $10.6M FY2025 · $10.7M
Net income Profit left after every cost, interest and tax for the year. A column below the line is a loss. Methodology $87.9M +35% on FY2024

Margins Each as a share of revenue. Gross: left after the direct cost of what was sold. Net: left after every cost. Free cash: free cash flow over revenue. A margin rising over years means the business keeps more of each dollar it sells. Methodology

Cash and long-term debt Cash on the balance sheet at the year's end beside debt due after a year. Net cash is cash less that debt; net debt is the shortfall. Debt some filers do not tag shows as a gap, not as zero. Methodology

Shares outstanding Shares in issue at the year's end. A rising count means each share owns a smaller slice of the company (stock pay, share sales); a falling one, buybacks. The chart's scale is fitted to the count, so a small change looks large: read the percentage. Methodology 29.51m +43.1% since FY2020
