Revenue compounded at +7.3% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew faster: net income at +65.7%, earnings per share at +72.2%.

The share count fell from 0.05B to 0.04B — the buyback concentrates the same profit into fewer slices.

Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
