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

Revenue growth is accompanied by a sharp margin recovery, but the business still depends on financing while reinvesting heavily.
Gross margin expanded 39.3 percentage points from FY2023 to FY2025, yet free cash flow remained negative at-$64.8M in FY2025. That gap indicates improved economics have not eliminated the cash cost of scaling, as capital expenditures reached$24.9M in FY2025.
