Insights

Corporate Financial Analyst

Strong FY2025 top-line growth, margin improvement, and positive operating cash flow mark a materially positive operational inflection.

The company recorded total revenue of $107.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, up 127% year‑over‑year, driven by digital entertainment revenue of $95.3 million (up 141%).

Gross profit rose to $4.32 million (a 50% increase), while daily operating expenses declined to $2.02 million from $2.99 million, showing expense control alongside scale. The company reported positive net operating cash flow of $192.8 thousand and held cash of $2.605 million and net assets of $21.61 million.

Key dependencies and risks include sustaining the digital segment as the primary revenue engine and converting improved margins into sustained net profit; cash and liquidity levels remain modest relative to annual revenue, so ongoing working capital management matters. Watch the next interim financial disclosures for continuation of positive operating cash flow and any commentary on cash runway or capital allocation over the coming fiscal periods.
