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

A debt-financed asset base now produces declining revenue and losses, while total liabilities reached $34.4B in FY2025.
FY2025 combined a net loss of$889M with operating cash flow of$3.3B , so accounting earnings are not a direct proxy for cash generation; noncash charges or working-capital movements matter. Operating cash flow fell from$3.8B in FY2023 to$3.3B in FY2025 while revenue was broadly flat, and free cash flow is unavailable, leaving cash retained after investment unresolved.
