Revenue compounded at +0.6% a year over the five years to FY2024 — but profit grew faster: net income at +50.6%, earnings per share at +53.6%.

The share count fell from 0.22B to 0.19B — 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.
