A multiple compares the market's price with a filed figure; it says what the market pays, not how the business is doing. The market capitalization is the vendor's as of Oct 28, 2026; every other figure is from the SEC filings on this page. Not financial advice.
Newest figures come from the 10-Q for Q2 FY2026, filed Aug 14, 2026. Each column of the statement tables below links to the filing it was taken from, and every filing is listed on the CREX SEC filings page.

This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Revenue growth is not converting into operating earnings: rising overhead and leverage overwhelmed the business’s expanding sales base.
Cash conversion reversed as operating cash flow moved from$3.4M in FY2024 to-$7.8M in FY2025, while free cash flow shifted from$3.4M to-$8.1M . That pairing indicates the latest accounting losses were accompanied by an actual cash requirement, not merely non-cash charges.
Growth became less productive: FY2025 revenue increased
The balance sheet expanded faster than the business: assets rose
