Revenue compounded at +5.5% a year over the five years to FY2025 — but profit grew slower: net income at +0.3%.

The share count fell from 0.11B to 0.09B — 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.
