Revenue compounded at +19.5% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew slower: net income at +19.4%.
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.

Each DKK of equity produced 61 cents of profit this year.
The 7-year record
EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
