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

Revenue is expanding, but thin gross margins and a more liability-heavy balance sheet leave accounting losses worsening even as cash generation improves.
From FY2024 to FY2025, operating cash flow rose to$24.8M while the net loss deepened to$39.0M , separating reported earnings from cash performance. Free cash flow nearly matched operating cash flow because capital expenditures were only$11K , indicating that the cash result reflects operating or working-capital effects more than reinvestment demands.
Growth is not dropping through to operating profit: revenue increased
The capital structure shifted toward liabilities: liabilities rose
