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 $2.7B -11% on FY2024
$0 $5B FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2020 · $1.8B FY2021 · $2.8B FY2022 · $4.2B FY2023 · $3.4B FY2024 · $3.0B FY2025 · $2.7B
Net income Profit left after every cost, interest and tax for the year. A column below the line is a loss. Methodology $104.2M -74% 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 $1.2B -28% 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 $1.0B 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.
