This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

FY2025 shows a business losing margin faster than sales are changing, with modest leverage but cash still leaving the company.
Across the latest two years, revenue rose modestly while gross margin fell from25.2% to19.3% , so additional sales produced less gross profit to absorb overhead. That compression pushed operating margin from-2.8% to-8.1% , indicating costs remained too heavy for the smaller gross-profit pool.
Operating cash flow shifted from positive cash flow of
Debt-to-equity is 0.006x and the current ratio is 3.0x, so the pressure is operational rather than driven by heavy borrowing or a thin current-asset cushion. The reported liquidity comparison equaled 1.8 months of the latest annual operating outflow, putting cash resources in a tighter frame than the balance-sheet ratios alone.
