Revenue compounded at +9.2% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew faster: net income at +9.9%, earnings per share at +10.0%.

The share count fell from 0.04B 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.
