Revenue compounded at +6.8% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew slower: net income at +0.1%, earnings per share at +9.2%.

The share count fell from 0.02B to 0.01B — 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.
