A high-gross-margin business is recovering in earnings, but cash conversion still has not caught up.
Between FY2024 and FY2025, gross margin rose from67.6% to72.5% , showing a better revenue mix or cost structure before overhead. Even as net loss narrowed from-$84.6M to-$36.9M , operating cash flow stayed negative, which suggests the turnaround is appearing in reported profitability before it is showing up in liquidity.
