This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios.

Revenue scale is growing, but the business mechanic is low-capex cash generation alongside unstable profitability and liability-heavy financing.
In FY2026, operating cash flow was$62.7M —about eight times net income of$7.8M —while free cash flow of$61.3M nearly matched it because capital spending was only$1.4M . That combination means reported cash generation is being supported by items beyond bottom-line profit, while the business currently requires little reinvestment to preserve that cash flow.
