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 $1.5B +16% on FY2024
$0 $2B FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2020 · $1.0B FY2021 · $1.1B FY2022 · $1.1B FY2023 · $1.1B FY2024 · $1.3B FY2025 · $1.5B
Net income Profit left after every cost, interest and tax for the year. A column below the line is a loss. Methodology $120.0M +18% 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 $148.6M +86% on FY2024
$0 $200M FY20 FY21 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2020 · $181.4M FY2021 · $23.0M FY2022 · -$21.5M FY2023 · $83.3M FY2024 · $79.7M FY2025 · $148.6M
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 $60.3M net cash

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 15.54m +1.1% since FY2020
