Cash release from shrinking working capital has funded debt reduction and shareholder payouts even as sales continued to soften.
From FY2022 to FY2025, inventory fell from$121.9M to$68.5M , releasing a large amount of cash that had been tied up in stock. Because FY2025 operating cash flow of$31.0M still exceeded net income of$13.7M , cash conversion was being helped by working-capital normalization, not just by stronger earnings.
