Revenue is nearly flat, but profitability is cyclical: cash generation can rebound sharply even when earnings weaken.
The most revealing shift is cash conversion volatility: operating cash flow equaled10.6% of net income in FY2024 but367.4% in FY2025, even as earnings fell sharply. That reversal shows the relationship between accounting earnings and cash generation changed materially, making annual profit a poor standalone guide to cash produced.
From FY2023 to FY2025, liabilities declined
The earnings setback was not primarily a sales-volume story: revenue was essentially unchanged in FY2025 while net profit margin fell
