Across FY2024 and FY2025, operating cash flow stayed above net income, reaching$65.9M against$40.2M in FY2025.

The more durable pattern is margin resilience, not top-line momentum: revenue has eased since FY2023, yet operating margin stayed in the low teens in both later years. That shape usually means overhead adjusted with demand, so lower sales did not automatically translate into a similar drop in operating earnings.
