Financials

6 fiscal years · from filings
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 $15.5B +10% on FY2024
$0 $20B FY14 FY15 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2014 FY2015 FY2022 · $16.2B FY2023 · $14.6B FY2024 · $14.1B FY2025 · $15.5B
Net income Profit left after every cost, interest and tax for the year. A column below the line is a loss. Methodology $987.0M +4% on FY2024
$0 $1B FY14 FY15 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2014 · $556.1M FY2015 · $452.3M FY2022 · $870.0M FY2023 · $17.0M FY2024 · $953.0M FY2025 · $987.0M
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 $718.0M +27% on FY2024
$0 $1B FY14 FY15 FY22 FY23 FY24 FY25 FY2014 FY2015 FY2022 · $183.0M FY2023 · $335.0M FY2024 · $566.0M FY2025 · $718.0M
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

  • Net 6%

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 $447.0M 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 393.11m +3.4% since FY2014
