Revenue compounded at +8.1% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew faster: net income at +17.5%, earnings per share at +21.5%.

The share count fell from 0.01B 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.
