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 $2.2B +17% on FY2024
$0 $2.5B FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2020 · $1.1B FY2021 · $1.2B FY2022 · $1.4B FY2023 · $1.7B FY2024 · $1.9B FY2025 · $2.2B
Net income Profit left after every cost, interest and tax for the year. A column below the line is a loss. Methodology $246.6M +14% on FY2024

Free cash flow Cash from running the business less what it spent on equipment and buildings: the cash a year actually left behind, which profit alone does not show. Not shown for banks and insurers, whose cash moves with their loans. Methodology $227.1M +19% on FY2024
$0 $250M FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2020 · $106.5M FY2021 · $64.4M FY2022 · $18.8M FY2023 · $164.1M FY2024 · $190.7M FY2025 · $227.1M
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 $502.9M net debt

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 60.90m +0.7% since FY2020
