Cash generation outpaces accounting profit, but it sits inside a heavily borrowed balance sheet that drives returns and distributions.

Across recent years, operating cash flow stayed far above net income and reached $3.1B versus $783M in FY2025, so the balance sheet is releasing cash more quickly than GAAP earnings suggest. That cash strength matters because assets kept growing alongside leverage; the company is not funding expansion from retained capital alone, but through a structurally borrowed model that then keeps enough earnings to support it.

The notable shift was a return improvement without deleveraging: net margin rebounded to 14.4% from 10.2%, while debt-to-equity barely moved. Because revenue kept climbing as profitability thinned in the prior two years, the earlier squeeze looked more like funding-cost pressure than a simple slowdown in activity.

Capital returns did not hollow out the balance sheet: after $499M of dividends and $141M of buybacks, equity still increased. That matters because leverage is doing much of the return math: a 2.9% return on assets becomes 23.0% on equity only because the business is financed with substantial borrowings.
