A stable gross-margin model ran into a cost-absorption problem, making FY2025 profit fall much faster than revenue.
Between FY2024 and FY2025, gross margin stayed near prior levels, but SG&A rose by$6.7M as revenue fell by$20.2M , so the earnings drop came mainly from overhead losing scale rather than weaker delivery economics.
